Continuing south in Georgian Bay to Parry Sound

Hopewell Bay moonrise
After a brief one night stay in Byng Inlet (Britt) we pressed southward along the small craft route about 30 miles for a two night anchorage in Hopewell Bay on Shawanaga Island. It was nothing special but an easy in and out and offered fairly good protection except from boat wakes out in the main channel. We were treated to a beautiful moonrise each night. I also tried fishing but again no luck. This was a new section of the small craft route that we bypassed it in 2009. It too was nothing special (in comparison to where we had been) and was much more heavily populated than points north. We left the anchorage on Sunday morning and headed another 30 miles to Parry Sound where we will stay for a couple of nights before heading north retracing the route we took on the way down. We plan to be back in Killarney by next weekend if the weather cooperates.
