Some days the waterway is like a
freeway – today was one of those days! Part I'm sure due to the
really nice weather, part due to the area of Georgian Bay in which we
are traveling.
Regardless, the rock islands of this
area are really beautiful. It's an amazing thing that any tree is
able to actually able to not only grow but flourish on these rocks.
We pulled into the anchorage off of
Twelve Mile Bay – even by our arrival time before noon there were a
number of boats already in. But our little cove was still available.
After avoiding the shoals on shore at
the entrance, we tossed a front anchor out and then backed up toward
shore. The water was very clear – easy to see any rocks or logs
under the water.
Next was for Steve to use his kayak to
take a line back to the trees behind us. Once we are secured front
and back, we're good for the night!
The last time we were here two years
ago, there was a small sandy beach along the cove but with the higher
water levels it's no longer there.
This area is really a nice place to
kayak as well as being a well protected anchorage. The winds on
Georgian Bay seem to mostly come from the West so we were in a good
place for the night.
A giant beaver hut was back in among
the shallow areas but sadly there was no sign of the occupant. These
huts are easy to spot because of the big pile of sticks and small
trees that have been cut by beaver teeth and piled up.
Next stop: Parry Sound!!
