Our anchorage spot for the night and meal time.
Narrow cuts and channels Rocks beneath surface
LIght house at inlet Rock islands and rocks just below surface
We left Parry Sound Thursday morning and headed north. After some of the most nail biting cruising on this leg we have had we pulled into Sandy bay in the afternoon and found our own little cove to anchor. We had cruised through some of the narrowest channels and watching for rocks was something. The water is so clear you can see the rocks under it. We set out both anchors and I cooked a gourmet meal . Grilled some chops, potatoes and salad. We settled down for the evening and then all hell broke loose. It was the most awesome storm I have seen. THe Lightening was everywhere and one was too close for comfort. Finally it calmed down a bit then the waves and wind came. After the storm passed the waves started to settled and so did our nerves. We went to sleep and woke up it was still drizzling rain. It is Friday am we decided to go to a marina because if it was going to be crappy weather we wanted wi-fi and land to stretch the legs. Alan really couldn't do any kayaking and I wanted sunshine when we anchored. So we backtracked about 6 miles to Byng Islet and got a slip at St. Armanti marina. Cute little( really small) town, but has charm. We walked down to the post office and went into Jane's Cafe for ice cream and a cup of coffee. Tomorrow there is a art show/festival in front of the INN.

Even though we had to pay a tooney for the shower it is by far the BEST shower on this whole trip in the Canadian waters. In the US Mike's at Pier 225 gets my vote.
