We left Britt and started out on the outside passage but it was getting a little rough so we went back into the inside passage at Collins Inlet. The view is so much nicer and I even got a picture of the crabby indian. At least I think I did, you can decide what you see in the stone.

The granite is of different colors and as we were in the Killarney channel it was pink where the sign was. We stopped at Pittfields General store on our way through and stocked up on a few groceries and topped off the fuel. Decided to head to Coverage portage cove to anchor for the night. We got a great spot tucked in to the cliff. THere was about 14 boats anchored there when we arrived. Later that evening there were about thirty. This is a very popular anchorage and I can see why. We stayed on the hook there for two nights. The first day after we were anchored, I heard someone calling out"Hey Simplicity" anybody on board? It was Don that ALan had met and talked to in the Frying Pan bay anchorage by Beausilie. He had a kayaking tour group in the Kilnary area and saw us pull in. Came over to chat and gave us some pointers on anchorage, which the spot we were at was one he gave us before. Dony definitely knows the Georgian Bay area. He reminds me somewhat of crocodile dundee. 



After we left there(July 22nd) we went back to Kilnarney , stopped at the beer and liquor store(bought some beer to be able to dock there) and I picked up some ice and meat from Pittfields. We headed back out to Baie Fine anchorage. We cruised down to the famous"Pool" anchorage, but the bugs were so bad and the weeds made it hard to anchor that we left for Mary Ann Cove. This was a beautiful spot and we stayed for two nights. There was no phone and definitely no wi-fi service so my dear husband hiked up a mountain to get a signal so he could call mom and see how her orthopedic doctor appointment went. He came back down the mountain and gave me a full report. He said it was a beautiful hike and View and of course I have enclosed picks of what he saw. The blueberries are wild here in this area and we have had blueberry pancakes just about every day. We have seen otters, beavers and cute little red squirrels. We left this morning and came to the town of Little Current to re provision. We plan on leaving tomorrow , weather permitting and go find some more anchorages.
