Kilcoursie Bay, ON to Tie Island, ON

Miles Traveled 69.2
Total Miles Traveled 5606
Day 327

We took advantage of calm winds to cover a large open water area of Georgian Bay. 




As we came back in to the inside channel, some of the passages were very narrow.





The Pointe Au Baril Lighthouse is part of a light system which includes a range tower about one half nautical mile behind the lighthouse, and a turn buoy, nearly three nautical miles offshore from the lighthouse, which work together to allow safe passage through the many shoals that cover the eastern coast of Georgian Bay.  There is no way I would try to navigate this area after dark.



This place doesn’t have much grass to cut.



We are anchored tonight in an area called the Bustard Islands, between Tie Island and Strawberry Island.



Moni caught a big one within 30 minutes of anchoring.



Okay, another boater came up in his dinghy to talk to us and Moni’s line tangled up in his prop.
