Happy 70th Birthday, Emery. Here’s a picture of the birthday boy enjoying his morning coffee. Thank you to everyone who called to help celebrate the day. There was no birthday cake, but it was a super day none-the-less.
We started the day at Eagle Island and finished in Gore Bay. Eagle Island was our last, planned anchoring-out spot for 2009. And what a place. The wind was dead calm so the quiet is absolute. We shared the cove with a few other boats and a pair of loons who called frequently throughout the late afternoon. Beautiful. And it was another night of no clouds, no moon so the stars were very bright. We saw the milky way at its best….all in all quite the most peaceful mooring we have had, and a great way to end the anchoring adventure.
At noon we pulled anchor and headed west to Gore Bay, a small town on Manitoulin Island where we are now tied up at a nice city dock. We will restock the boat today, do some laundry and move to Meldrum Bay, the western-most port on Manitoulin, tomorrow. We had a huge rain/windstorm last night, so we were glad to be in port.
A great birthday and we continue to enjoy the North Channel.
