Thursday, June 9th – Penetanguishena, Canada
Noon’ish when we untied and said good bye to Gordy and Sue from Loonasea at the Beacon Bay Marina. Our cruising paths would not pass any more as they were staying on in Beacon Bay for a few days and then heading home to Michigan. The day was beautiful…sun shinning […]
Thursday, June 9th – Penetanguishena, Canada
Beautiful sunny day. Barbara spent the morning uploading pictures…Dave’s studying charts…getting ready to untie and head out into the Georgian Bay. Lots of rocks submerged on the edge of the channels…planning to be real careful.
Wednesday, June 8th – Severn, Canada
Woke to gray overcast skies and light drizzle. Hung around the Driftwood Cove Marina until the sun came out…about noon. Enjoying talking more with Todd about the area. As we pulled out of the channel, we saw a large boat coming from a distance. Thinking it might be Loonasea, Dave […]
Monday, June 6th
Arrived in Orillia to see that Loonasea, another Looper, was tied to the dock. Gordy and Sue were walking toward town. When they saw us, they caught lines and helped us secure the boat. We last saw them in Trenton. Since then we’d been told at several marinas that we were one […]

It was close to 1 p.m. before we got away from Bobcaygeon. By then the sun was out and all the local boats were moving. Reminded us of leaving Silver Glen Springs on a Sunday afternoon. Got through the lock at Bobcaygeon right away…after one small hurdle. As we were entering […]

The main street was lined with hanging flower baskets and lots of quaint little shops including, as we were told, one of the most famous shoes stores around, Bigley Shoes. They boast of having […]
Friday, June 4th – Peterborough, Canada
What a perfect day…sunshine, warm weather, feeling good and we were in a new town filled with a different personality than what we had seen before. We were both anxious to get on the bikes and go exploring. Turned out we hit the jackpot. Rode our bikes to the Peterborough […]
It’s Thursday, June 2nd we made it to Peterborough…
Monday, May 30, 2005 – Kingston, Canada
