We're officially heading back today

With just three weeks left we are now retracing our steps and heading north and west again. We decided to goo all the way back to Byng Inlet instead of anchoring due to the weather that was predicted. We will leave Byng on Thursday and head back in the Bad River for 3-4 nights on the hook and then on to Killarney for a last visit there.

On our way up we decided to try a section of the small craft route that we had bypassed before due to the difficulty factor and because our boat is the maximum size recommended to travel it. In any case, the passage is not that difficult unless you have an oncoming boat that does not make a "securite" call alerting others boats of their intentions. Once committed there is virtually no room to maneuver in the approach areas. In our case two boats violated that rule when we were there on Wednesday. Here's the video of our passage of Canoe Channel.

We will report back in a few days.
