We pulled up anchor and this time it was full of seaweed and clay. Headed out for the Killarney route. We had to go through 15 miles of open bay and it was pretty rough but again Blue Moon handled it very well and gave us a nice ride in 7 footers at times.. There were 6 wave runners buzzing around us out there. It looked like a Mountain Dew commercial. Could not believe they were going long distance in such rough stuff. Ahh, youth! We approached Collins Inlet and held our breath a few times through some very shallow water and one particularly tight, shallow turn. One the way we saw:
Once we arrived this scenery was SO worth the trip!
The Admiral & The Captain
Brandon, Karen & John
Killarney is basically a rugged little outpost. No frills kinda town. The Sportsmen's Inn is iconic and has recently had a huge facelift. Nice job. We ran into the waverunner guys and they were not 20 somethings more like late late 40 or 50 somethings! Older guys. Who woulda thought?
We rode our bikes around town which only took about 1/2 hour because it is very small. Caught up on laundry, ate lunch at the fish and chips wagon. (Our fresh caught pickerel was better!) I was happy to have internet again!
Later we ate at the Sportsmen's Inn restaurant for dinner. Nice little pub. Good live music.
18 years ago when Dave and I bought our old funky houseboat (the original DCONBLZ) we first heard of Georgian Bay and decided that someday we would love to make the trip. It took us a while but we got here. Tomorrow we are having the Georgian Bay Grand Finale in a place called Baie Fine and the Pool. Everyone has told us not to miss it so that's the plan.
