Sept 14, Sans Souci, ON

Today we entered the Georgian Bay (which is larger than Lake Ontario) and skirted the eastern edge following the small boat channel around hundreds of granite islands and through some narrow openings between them. There are large rocks above and below the surface everywhere. The small boat channel is well known and well used and very well marked with navigation bouys. We had no difficulty following the route. There are areas to explore and to anchor out all over the place. We get the feeling we are not taking near enough time to see and enjoy this beautiful area.






As we left Midland, the day started out overcast, quite warm and humid (mid 80’s) but it did not last. The tail end of Hurricane Ike is blowing itself out and causing thunderstorms as far north as Chicago and Detroit and into southern Canada. The rain with some wind (15-20 mph) reached us after lunch and we finished our day in the rain and is continuing through the evening with the wind building into the overnight.

Henry's Fish Restaurant

We covered about forty miles today from Midland to the very small community of Sans Souci on Frying Pan Island and stay overnight at Henry’s Fish Restaurant at the restaurant dock with power. We manage to get ashore to Henry’s famous restaurant in the rain. The locally caught Pickeral is everyone’s favorite.
