We left Killarney mid-day on Sunday and made the short but scenic ride over to Mill Lake via Collins Inlet which is one of our favorite rides. Our anchorage was straight forward and after trying my hand at fishing again but with no luck this time we settled in for a peaceful night’s sleep. The next day we awoke to rain which lasted most of the morning and afternoon and which caused us to change our anchorage destination for Monday night due to limited visibility. Our stop on Monday was in the scenic Bustards Harbor where we were in the company of just two other boats. The lack of boats has been the trend this year and speaks volumes to how people are being impacted by the economy. Our route on the chart is as follows (red=leg 1, green=leg 2, yellow=leg 3, and orange=leg 4).
We awoke on Tuesday to clear skies but somewhat windy conditions. Not leaving until noon I spent the morning chasing a pair of Loons around the bay hoping to get some good shots which I did as you can see. After that we made the short five mile jaunt over to the Bad River where we spent the next two nights. I really tried hard at the fishing again but came up empty again. We will go back there in a week or so, however, and I’ll be armed with right lure this time.  |

Our two nights in the Bad River were blustery but we departed on Thursday to light winds and very calm conditions for our 27 mile trek down the small craft passage to Byng Inlet. This is a navigational exercise with amny passages like the narrow spot at Rogers Gut.
We had dinner at the Little Brit Inn but were disappointed in the food and service over previous years. We will be off on Friday for points south as we head for Parry Sound. With all new anchorages ahead of us we expect to see some pretty places. We will post a new entry when we reach our next marina and Wi-Fi connection.
