We began our trip!


Sunday May 14, 2017



Best Mother’s Day present ever!! We left the North Channel Yacht Club at 10:30 to begin our trip! Club Members lined the dock to say their farewells; it was extremely overwhelming. We had a great sail easterly to the Benjamin Islands where we anchored for the night all alone – this never happens here.
This is the climbing rock at South Benjamin Island.

We continued easterly which took us through the port of Little Current on Manitoulin Island, a hub for boaters in the North Channel. The town allows free day use of the docks to provision, enjoy the restaurants, shopping and even has free hot showers.  One of the few swing bridges is located here, and opens on the hour to allow boaters through.




We continued easterly to Heywood Island to anchor for the night.

We left Heywood and tacked our way easterly until we could move south around the northeastern tip of Manitoulin Island.  We got to Club island where we anchored for that night. The water here was crystal clear.

We sailed to Tobermory today with up to 32 knots of wind (60 kilometers per hour). A little bumpy LOL, but we did it.
When we arrived we utilised their free town docks to buy a few provisions and anchored in Big Tub Harbour home to the sunken ships. Yikes
