The evening before we left Meaford gave
us yet another really nice sunset. The rain came and went on Friday
so we had decided to just spend another day. It's a great little
town!
Saturday the rains had passed and the
sun was out when we left the harbor. Hot in the sun but pleasant in
the shade. A good day to travel.
The travel plan was to go the 40 miles
to what appeared on the charts to be a very protected anchorage. It
was 5 miles back to Sydney Bay but it was definitely worth it! This
side of Georgian Bay is so different than the eastern shoreline with
it's rocks and sparse tree cover.
Instead the shoreline is very high
cliffs with forests at the lower levels along the water. I think we
saw a total of 5 boats while traveling – and it was a beautiful day
with light winds. Where is everyone???
The winds eventually died totally in
the late afternoon. This is a great anchorage!
A seagull swam over to see what was up
– Steve had tried his luck at fishing (no takers) and the gull
maybe thought he might get lucky.
The night could not have been any
quieter with no wind so there were no slapping waves. A good night's
sleep :-)
But the best part was the sunrise this
morning – or actually the pre-sunrise. It was so totally amazing.
It wasn't until later in the day that I realized those really neat
looking clouds meant it was going to be a cloudy, overcast, rainy day
all day today! We just will stay put then.
Steve stayed up until the sun was
actually seen – I was back to bed and sleeping by then. So I missed
the sun rise and the sun shining on the cliffs in front of the boat.
What an incredible view :-)
And to start the day right, scrambled
egg whites with mushrooms and spinach. It's going to be a good day ….
Tomorrow we'll move on to Lion's Head assuming the weather is good!
