Little Currents

Sorry I’m falling a bit behind. For those of you who have traveled to Northern Ontario know good internet is hard to come by.

Another luxury towns offer is a laundry mat. Sue made sure to pack plenty of laundry supplies including a good 50 pounds of quarters. Unfortunately, they’re not Canadian quarters.

While doing laundry we met Ann. She’s active in the local cruisers net and encouraged us to join them at the pot luck they were having at the pavilion near our dock. Her and her husband were going to be preforming after dinner. She plays a cello and her husband plays guitar. Yes, they travel with them on their boat along with amps and mics.

We already had dinner plans, but once we heard the music start we headed over. Sue and I were both surprised at how good they were. Ann was telling us they liked to play at anchor and at times, they’ve had a dozen or more boats rafted up to them.

We left Little Currents the next day, passing through their landmark swing bridge.

We were making our way to Club Island in Georgian Bay for the night. The winds were perfect and we hit every point of sail maneuvering around the islands.

On the way, we sailed through the middle of Killarney. It’s a small town that has a channel running through down town. And, there isn’t a bridge. One side of town has cars, roads, and garages. The other side of town has boats, trails, and boat houses.

The other unique item of Killarney is they have a boat-up liquor store.

Unfortunately, the water is high on all the Great Lakes this year and the LCBO’s dock is under water and closed.

After leaving Killarney, we had 20 knot winds on the beam. That’s Odyssey’s sweet spot. After getting the Admirals approval, I put out a reefed main and both head sails, and we flew. A nice 7.5 to 8 knots. What a way to end a perfect day!
