Winter = Blah | Summer = GOOD! Georgian Bay Anchorage!

First off, I wanna say to Dave (TLC) - thanks for rubbing in the whole 'I only have DAYS until retirement.' I know, your just trying to make the rest of us poor working slobs feel bad. . . . HA! Good news, man! I hope all your retirement days are sunny & filled with really good TV watching ;-) 

  Vern - good to read you are still alive! Geez, for a minute there, I thought maybe it was Mary sending me all those jokes from your email address!! 

 Finally, Sanja, I see you are a little apprehensive about the big 50 mile trip to Bobcaygeon?? Don't sweat it - it'll be a breeze for your newly learned navigating talents. And great practice for the Georgian Bay trip a few weeks later. And the best part is that if you get off track, the most you're likely to hit on the way to Bobcaygeon is weeds - unlike the sharp, unforgiving rocks of The Bay . . . . D'oh! (Maybe shouldn't have said that - Graham might be reading this).

  Good news - this coming Sunday is the first day of Winter - meaning that from then on, the days will be getting longer again!! And, speaking of The Bay, and with today being a dark, crappy day & last week being so cold and crappy, I figured it was time for another summer band-aid. So, without further adieu, here's a little something from gorgeous Georgian Bay.

 These pics were all taken at our anchorage in Beausoleil Bay, including the dusk shot at the top. Number one is Mr. Von A. casting his rod behind the boat. And he also did some fishing. This is looking towards the north east, with the top of Beausoleil Bay - and Little Dog Channel in the background.

  Looking back in the opposite direction, Scotty & Hunter enjoy a sunny day aboard the 'Maple Leaf'. The actual rock of McCabe Rock is what you see on the shore. There is also docking there for about 4 boats. When we were there, there was THREE 30' Sundancers parked on the docks - all the same as Boogaboo & Water wings. Go figure. Anchor Girl & I took a dinghy ride over to shore for a garbage run. This shot was taken from the top of McCabe Rock, overlooking the Bay. Our boats are off to the right part of this shot. Pretty, eh? Eh? Today's final shot was taken from Boogaboo, zoomed in to the north part of Beausoleil Bay. See the high rock cliffs? Nice.
