Honey Harbor to Queens Cove Marina to Bay Port Marina (Midland, ON)

Day #658; Loop Miles to Date = 7,711

Just a brief update...no pics...

On Tuesday, we left Honey Harbor and had a short day over to Queens Cove Marina...more or less retracing our travel of the previous day. We found South Bay Cove Marina to be an excellent marina...top notch, with more larger boats than we expected. They really run a first rate operation here, and it would have been a nice place to get stuck if need be. But, we didn't linger, and took off to Queens Cove.

We received an excellent briefing here on the Georgian Bay and North Channel from the marina manager Robin...it was exceedingly helpful. We also got some tips from our dock neighbor here who has been boating in these waters for 20 plus years. As it turns out, Robin's husband Mike, runs the marina at Bay Port in Midland, which was our next stop. This is also where Act III is getting repairs completed. As a bonus, Mike gave all of us another briefing, so we now feel fully prepared for the many days of anchoring that we have in front of us.

Tomorrow, we'll take off for an anchorage in 12 Mile Bay, and we may stay there for a couple of days...we'll just see how much we like it. We anticipate that the next 2 weeks will largely be at anchor, with a couple of nights at marinas where they are available. We will probably not be in a spot where we will be able to blog much for this time segment...but if we get enough signal, we may be able to upload a text only blog. We're not even certain that we will have cell phone signals in spots. This stretch ahead of us offers some of the most remote cruising, but also the most scenic that we will experience on the entire trip. We can't wait to see this beautiful part of Canada!

Stay tuned...thanks for reading.
