Day 55

This was a good day, for several reasons. We rejoice in days like this.

The weather was spectacular. Seas 1-5 inches. Some clouds. No traffic. We made tracks from our anchorage , 10 miles east of Killarney, and made it safely to a cute little village called Little Current, ON. Several charming shops, a good pub, a general merchandise store. Then the storm hit. 30 knot winds and intermittent rain. The barometer is rising and if the storm abates we will strike out for Drummond Island, Michigan. Should be back in the USA in two days. We have special plans to visit Macinac Island (superman played a quieter role there in " Somewhere in Time".

The waters now are no longer rivers, but huge and raging seas. Most of today I thought how much this looks like Puget Sound. More violent here though. We are totally dependent on the sea state. We read the National Data Buoy Center several times a day. Canada is a wild and wonderful place. I could easily live here, but their weather forcast service is only about 10% correct.
