We said our good-bye's – or rather
our “see you later's” - at Picnic Island near Honey Harbor. It
was the last place in Georgian Bay at which we would fuel up until we
were midway through the Trent. Deja Vu was headed back to home port
of Midland where Jim and Linda would depart to return to Symmetry for
their continued travels on the St. Lawrence and Peter and Cheryl
would regroup and continue boating on Georgian Bay with
family/friends.

But first, one last night at anchor.
This time near McCrea Lake. It truly was a deja vu moment as this is
where Peter and Cheryl first met Jim and Linda. Peter and Cheryl were
very seriously thinking of doing the Loop and, encouraged by a
friend, stopped by to talk with Jim and Linda (they were on Selah with a Looper flag flying and anchored very near where we were this night). That was three
years ago ….. the rest is history :-)
It was a great kayak spot with some
really unique rocks along the shoreline. We thought the one on the
left looked like some kind of a sea sea serpent complete with eye and
nostril!
We were headed for the falls nearby. The water fell from McCrea
Lake down an overall height of about 5 feet. Steve of course
had to try kayaking up it! If it wasn't for the rocks limiting how he
could paddle, he just might have made it!
Peter was in charge of the grill again
and Jim was the designated watcher of Peter. It worked well as the
burgers were done just right. Steve finished up the grilling with
some tofu hot dogs - a perfect dinner!
The table was set (thanks to Cheryl, Lois, Linda??) and ready for our last gathering at dinner. Deja Vu has the best dining area ever!
And once again the sunset was a keeper :-)
The ride on to Port Severn after we left Picnic Island today was quiet
and uneventful. Winds on Georgian Bay were light – an overall
pleasant day. We tied up at the lock with several Looper boats. This
lock is always interesting as it is the first/last lock on the Trent
and often times for boaters coming from Georgian Bay, this is the
first lock they have ever gone through.
People watching is always entertaining!
Yet another wonderful sunset …...
Tomorrow – off to Swift Rapids Lock.
