8/27/2010 CLAPPERTON ISLAND TO MELDRUM BAY

It was a picture-perfect morning with the sun shining brightly, high scattered clouds and only a slight breeze

We are still without cell service and already have two days of the Quest Blog to post. Maybe tonight I will be able to get these loaded up.

By 9:30 we were pulling out of our hideaway and back in the North Channel, heading west on this beautiful day.

CHARTING OUR PATH

Before 11:30 we were pulling into Gore Bay on Manitoulin Island and headed to the Friday “fish market” in town where we got fresh white fish and trout fillets. Next, we cruised the Farmers Market in the park abutting the marina and bagged some tiny carrots, beautiful mixed chard and a yummy peach pie. Cute little village with a fabulous dock.

GORE MARINA

I took advantage of the service here and finally caught up on the blog for the last two days. What a relief! You all know that virtue of patients is not one of my strong points and this blog thing really puts it to the limit at times.

We were off again by 2:15, cruising to the big waters the four hours to Meldrum Bay. Passing up the little marina, we chose to anchor for the night and cook our fish for dinner. It was a peaceful night behind the beautiful breakwater.
