Catch of the day—
one more Northern Pike in the calm of our anchorage at quiet John Harbor.
A little after eight we raised anchor and headed west into Whaleback Channel, which is seven miles long and would be good sailing, but there is no wind this early.
Another chance to do a day visit to a town, then anchor out for the night. Today we visited Blind River—the metropolis of the North Channel with a population approaching 4,000.
Appropriate to its logging history the town houses the Timber Village Museum, but unfortunately it was closed today. We rode our bikes downtown, through neighborhoods and along the waterfront greeting people as we passed.
Leaving Blind River, we headed west with light winds making it very comfortable to cross open water to the Grant Island.
Ron braved the cool water, but Jean chickened out and stayed onboard. There is only one other boat in the protection of the cove—just enough wind to keep the bugs away—quiet and peaceful—beautiful sunset to end the day .
Awesome.
