July 29, St.
Armnt’s Marina
Woke up to a
rain shower and off we went to cross the smooth waters of Parry Sound. We rejoined the small craft route and headed
to Point Au Brail Lighthouse. There
were two small docks to tie up to but we decided to move on and not tour the
lighthouse. Ken had charted to cruise
Hangdog Channel, but after reading the cautions, he decided to go back to open
water. John and Lewis, who is married to
John’s niece, hailed us as we were leaving the channel. Traveling on a 24 '
Limestone they caught up with us and the plan is to rendezvous at St. Armnt’s.
Back to
cruising in deep waters we were able to relax.
The seas were about 1 ½ feet and the rain that was predicted for the
afternoon stayed away. We turned into
Byng Inlet and passed a fisherman that proudly displayed his catch of the day,
while the hungry sea gulls were waiting for the scraps.
We docked in front of John’s boat and went to
check out the restaurants. Pickerel, or
as we know it wall eye was on the menu, so we had dinner out. Listening to John and Lewis at the dinner
table, we decided that it was best that we bypassed Hangdog Channel. They
reported they had tight hair-pen turns and even had to deal with on-coming
traffic. John said that our large vessel
would not have fit between the tight buoys, and we definitely made the right
decision to stay on the outside.
