As we sailed today, a RED LINE appeared on the chart plotter, marking the division of Canada and US waters.   This is our most northern point in our adventure:  46° 17.85’ N.

It has been another week of gunkholing, so we pulled into Bruce Mines Marine Park for the night.  The afternoon was filled with those weekly chores of laundry, beer bottle return and grocery shopping.  It was necessary to sit at the Bavarian Restaurant later in the day to spend the last of our Canadian money.  With a big screen TV in front of us we soaked up the London Summer Olympic coverage and enjoyed the banner with the wait staff. 

  

 

As predicted, the rain began early in the evening and lasted past midnight, a fitting end to our stay in Canada.  We entered Canadian waters on June 29th and will be leaving tomorrow, July 31st. 

In  past years some boaters have had severe weather in North Channel, but knock on wood, the weather has been delightful.  We thoroughly enjoyed our experiences and 682 miles in  Georgian Bay and North Channel, but must  admit we are ready to get back to the good ole US of A!
