Georgian Bay into Britt

It was a beautiful cruising day on Georgian Bay.  With a clear sky and small waves all we had to think about – constantly – were rocks, islands and more rocks.  In two spots we opted to go out into the main channel or ship channel.  Those areas are marked as “canoe channel” near mm 13 and from mm 37 to 47 where boats over 40 feet are warned about tight corners and shallow water.  So we had some stretches of wide-open water.  We did explore one “shortcut” that looked promising, but as the water went rapidly from 60 ft to 10 ft we called it off and turned around.  I guess there is a reason everyone says Stay In The Channel.

We are docked tonight at Wright’s Marina.  It’s the first marina going up the Byng Inlet towards the town of Britt.  Nice little spot run by a family and it has laundry facilities, which was my first priority today.  

Nice Nest!

Lake is calm, but trees are bent. Whats wrong?
