7-14, 7-15  Indian Harbour

Day one….It rained almost all day.  Anyone who owns a boat knows there is an endless list of little things to attend to.  We got little things done like tightening up the oven door, epoxy a screw snap that pulled loose, you get the idea.  We knocked a bunch of those things off and were patiently waiting for Saturday which is supposed to be beautiful.

Saturday morning it was cool but clear and dry so off we go fishing.  It was a bust.  Well I did catch a 2 ½” Goby and two Zebra Mussels.

We went back to the boat grabbed a quick lunch and headed out to explore.  Just as we were leaving the bay, we noticed a boat that looked like our friends on The Lower Place.  This anchorage works best if you Med Moor  “Mediterranean Moor” (anchor the front and tie the back off to shore. We went back and it was them.  We offered to help them moor because our dinghy was already in the water and theirs is on top of their boat needing to be winched down.  There were two other Looper boats with them.  Once everyone got settled we all took our dinghies and rafted them together and floated around the bay and yacked.  We then decided to all go exploring together.  We dodged rocks, traveled through lakes and channels. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. As we got close to our anchorage, we found a very large rock that we climbed onto and explored.  The rock is all granite.  Charlie said, “This is a lot of countertops”

We went back to our boats a prepared for docktails on Lower Place.  We yacked until 7pm.  Then a couple we met earlier from Michigan stopped by and we chatted with them on our boat.  They reviewed our charts to make sure we aren’t missing any of the best spots to see.  He admitted we have gotten great advice from previous people and had nothing to add. They keep their boat here is Georgian Bay and have been coming here for many years to cruise. We talked until 10:00. I think we may have planted some seeds that may grow into them doing the Loop when they retire in the near future.

It was a really fun day.
