Note: Pictures loaded backwards. We’ve been anchored out for two nights in Covered Portage Cove, a spot a bit north of Killarney. The weather is terrific…high 70’s, clear skies and no wind.
Covered Portage is a very popular cove, and the good weather is bringing out lots of boaters. So we had other boats with us, but that is good as there is dinghy visiting and people to talk with. Rob and Tracy, long haul truckers who live on the Trent Severn Waterway, helped untangle a line from our prop using a snorkel and fins they travel with just for underwater emergencies like that. Our list of stuff we need to anchor out properly grows daily!! Lots of fir trees and white granite in Covered Portage, as the first attached pictures show.
We climbed to the top of the rocks above our boat and were treated to more spectacular views. We were looking right done on the boat so I have attached our view of that as well. At night the sky and stars are spectacular as there is no ambient light to get in the way. We did not see the meteor shower however as we were fast asleep at optimum time.
Today we are back in Killarney to restock the boat and see other folks we’ve met in the North Channel. Thought you might be amused by the seaplane parked in the slip next to us…..that is a popular mode of transportation around here. Killarney Mountain Lodge is a popular boater stop because of the pool and good restaurant at the resort. After a day or two here we are going to head west and stop at some anchorages and ports before heading to Mackinac Island and Michigan. Happy August!!!

Sounds like everybody is happy to help each other out. That is very nice. Beautiful pictures, Rog would love being where there is no light, so he could see the stars better.
Roger's cousin Linda has been here the past week. We had a great time with her - she is now back in Florida - we will see her this winter.
We leave on our cruise tomorrow, everybody is excited. We will let you know how it goes traveling with all the grandchildren. As you know we are a little crazy, so we are actually looking forward to it.
Travel safe - we will too.
