Back in Little Current and it's Haweater Weekend!!!

With the excitement reaching a fever pitch we are really pumped that we are in Little Current for Haweater Weekend where we will partake in all the festivities that are available (when we find out exactly what they are). While we are here, we plan to relax (some more) a few days before heading out for the final 10 days our summer cruise. On a side note, we were happy that the “tap, tap, tap” from our first visit was gone as the new parking lot at the east end of the town has been completed and looks quite nice, eh! (I'm starting to sound Canadian).
We had a great final anchorage in Mary Anne Cove and once again made it up to the top of Fraser Hill for the second time this year. The view as always was spectacular (see below). We also tied to the same spot on shore but had no furry visitors this time. Because the outboard is still problematic (remember, we hit a big rock a week ago) we were confined to short hops in the zodiac so fishing was limited (i.e. no fish were caught).

While in Little Current we met up with a couple from Sudbury, ON who we met at an anchorage last year. Based on an email I discovered that they just happened to be down this way today and joined us for a fish dinner being put by a local church as part of Haweater weekend.

From here we will anchor a few more nights and then go to Gore Bay for a night before heading out for our last anchorages and then returning to our new home base at Drummond Island. Normally we would be on our way down Lake Michigan towards Saugatuck starting at the end of July.
