Beausoleil Island and Bone Island National Park July 12-15

Families enjoying Frying Pan Bay for the weekend. Beausoleil National Park in Georgian Bay


We left Bayport Marina around 10:3am after a big thunderstorm came through. We decided that we would head for Beausoliel and drop the hook for the weekend and so did everyone else. We cruised to the different bays tried anchoring a couple of times, but either the winds were wrong  or the anchor wouldn't hold. We finally found a nice little spot in Frying Pan Bay and dropped the hook and then Alan put an anchor out the stern towards shore. There must have been 30 boats in the bay, but they were there for the same reason we were. Canadians love their National Parks and I can see why. It was the weekend and several boats were rafted up and having a good time.  Alan kayaked around the bay and outside to some of the other ones. He picked wild blueberries on shore and I made blueberry pancakes. What a treat that was for us. I look forward to finding some more when we are in the North Channel. It was nice to sit back and watch the kids from the other boats swimming, fishing and just plain having fun. After two days of  this we pulled up the anchor and cruised on over to check out Bone Island. There was dock space available so we stayed the night there. The weather was cloudy all day, but Alan did get a little kayaking in before the rain. Tomorrow we head for new territory and a new adventure.
