Hi Folks,

We are in at dock tonight in Spanish Ontario in the North Channel. Can’t say enough about what a wonderful time we’re having in such a beautiful place. The pictures above might give you an idea about how nice it really is. As you can see we’ve been seeing wildlife, sorry no picture of the moose and we haven’t been able to capture a loon on camera either, only the ones in the boat! If you’re following our trail, we went from Killarney back to Little Current, then up into the Bay of Islands (not for the faint of heart). From there we anchored in Sturgeon Bay and Bell Cove, on to Amendroz, then to Croker and the Benjamins. After the Benjamins we went to Eagle Island and then scooted to Hotham Island where we snuck into a little cove with the entrance of just six feet between two rocks about 25 feet. We thought we found a very secluded anchorage, but were descended by dingy’s asking how did we get in there, but we met some more interesting people. Clay is going to have to go into sales for the Gemini because we have someone come on board at almost every anchorage to check out the boat. We have 15 minutes of free internet here at this dock, so I probably won’t get the blog updated. You can pass this on to anyone who’s interested. The plan now is to hit Blind River, Thessalon, Bruce Mines, Hilton Beach with stops inbetween at little anchorages we want to check out. From there we’ll had back to Drummond Island to check back in with US Customs before we start heading for Mackinaw City. We miss everyone, but we are having a wonderful time!
