We left Killarney this morning, and after traveling less
than 20 miles, we entered one of the most beautiful places in Ontario, Baie
Fine, the only non-oceanic Fjord in the world.
Fjords are defined as a long narrow inlet with tall mountains on either
side. They are generally cut from the
surrounding bedrock (quartzite in this case) into U-shaped valleys by fast
moving glaciers pouring into a basin--in this case Lake Huron. The mountains surrounding the fjord are part
of the La Cloche Mountain range and are primarily 3.5 billion year old White
Quartzite, laced with 1.5 billion year old pink granite hills and mounds.
Baie Fine is approximately 10 miles long, and after
passing through a narrow and shallow inlet we arrived at what is known as “The
Pool”. The Pool is an open area of water
large and deep enough for several boats to anchor.
By the end of the day, there were four other loopers
anchored here, “Cutty’s Ark”, “Miss My Money”, “2 Infinity”, and “Pearl Two”. David and Barbara “Miss My Money”, stopped by and invited
us to docktails on their boat this evening.
Anchored in the “Pool”
Tomorrow we will explore Lake Topaz….almost to the top of the mountain.
