Rock cruising
19 July 2019 | Britt City, Byng Inlet

From Parry Sound to Britt City( a village really) it was a real nail biters cruise. There are hundreds of buoys to weave your way through, and any mistake; bye bye propeller! Many times you are dancing through buoys 50 metres apart, with waves breaking on jagged rocks both sides of the boat. This all comes from the glaciers scouring the rock, and then melting around Lake Huron. You would NEVER do this in New Jersey, where the buoys are seemingly just dropped wherever! Canadian Coast Guard does a great job placing, and maintaining the buoyage system in Canada.
Eagle Heart is purring along, quite satisfied with all the maintenance performed on her the last 3 weeks. A couple of minor issues to be straightened out as we go forward.
It took us 8 hours to go 58 miles so we called it a day at a small vacation town. We have anchored, gone for a refreshing swim, and now are just chilling out!
