Bad River, ON to Killarney, ON

Miles Traveled 40.4

Total Miles Traveled 5656

Day 329

With high winds and possible afternoon thunderstorms predicted for this afternoon, we weighed anchor just after daylight to get the open water behind us.  It felt like we had the entire Georgian Bay to ourselves.

After several miles of open water, we left Georgian Bay for Collins Inlet.

Just before the inlet, we passed through several very narrow channels.

As soon as we entered Collins Inlet we saw a noticeable change in scenery.  Most of the islands and channels we have seen the last few days have been low lying and thinly wooded.  This area of the country has towering walls of rock and thick pine forest.  We noticed the smell of pine as soon as we turned into the narrow passageway; you just can’t resist taking a big deep breath of clean Canadian air.

This is the Killarney Lighthouse, located at Red Rock Point, one mile east of the town of Killarney.

This is the World Famous Herbert Fisheries. 

For the first 32 years, a refurbished school bus sat along the water’s edge in Killarney selling fish and chips, but now the bus is gone and has been replaced with a new restaurant.  I must say, this is the best freshwater fish I have eaten……..except for the fish that Moni has caught of course.
