Laundry to Baie Fine



Click here for Basie fine photos

Lake Huron is divided into basically three parts - the North Channel, Georgian Bay and the main lake south of Manitoulin Island.  We have just completed sailing through the North Channel and are on route to Tobermory on the west side of Georgian Bay. This is another 40 mile leg.
The North Channel was beautiful with its high islands and deep clear waters, a guy could spend a life time sailing here and not see all its nooks and crannies. 
Last night we pulled into Baie Fine about 6:00 pm after a great day of sailing.  We left Dave and Margaret in Laundry Harbour and sailed through a rainy, misty morning to Little Current. We had to wait about 40 minutes there because the swing bridge only opens on the hour to let the boat traffic through. That was our first time through that type of bridge.  After that the winds picked up to 15 - 20 knots and we sailed close hauled to the long narrow Baie Fine.  We anchored off the stern and tied the bow off to a tree in Mary Ann's Cove. This is one of the most picturesque bays and the easiest to anchor in that I have ever been in. The sun came out just as we arrived and the water was so clear we could drive around and scout the area for rocks with no problems. The only thing missing in Mary Ann's Cove was our good friends Stephen & Marianne!
We got in just in time for cocktails and a swim- who would of thought?😀.    Doug
