The village of Killarney is the beginning of the North Channel. Not a lot of difference in it and Georgian Bay, different colored rocks!!! Of course there are more anchorages than we could ever try so that is nice. Here we chose Covered Portage Cove----along with a bunch of other cruisers but there was room for all including a 100ft mega yacht. Pat defines a "yacht" as any boat that requires a crew (paid).
From the anchorage it is a quick dinghy trip to town. Lets see, Catholic Church, fish and chips shop and ice cream. Oh, and several boat yards and marinas for those so inclined.There is a grocery store, small and very expensive.
The next stop was Baie Fine (pronounced finn) a short 17 miles. Just the right number of miles to make in a day. This is the fjord like bay with rocks all around and lots of " Christmas trees". This is the scenery that one comes to Canada for. We anchored in a small cove just off the channel several miles in. That channel will get and keep your attention, narrow and lots of rocks, real close. Cruising along a rock cliff 20 feet off the beam with rocks awash off the other beam. Gawd are we having fun yet?
