Tonight we're back in Tobermory tonight as Chris and Justine are heading for home and we are heading into Lake Huron tomorrow. Sam had a chance to do some laundry, Chris and Justine did some site seeing and I changed the oil for Yan (mar). We've put 130 hours on the engine since we left in early July so it was time as we're starting to head in the direction of home. Sam and I also went grocery shopping to reprovision for the dash south. Finn spent the afternoon as the Welcome Mutt, laying on the welcome aboard mat amusing all the passersby.

We had a good week, and, despite a general lack of wind, we did have fairly good weather in terms of temperature, and no rain. Chris got some captain seat time and learned to use the GPS and the finer pionts of anchoring (see yesterday's blog entry for the coarser points of anchoring). Justine wanted to go up the mast so we hoisted her up for a look around this morning before we left Cabot Head. Apparently that's one off her bucket list (I didn't have a bucket list when I was 25?)

The kids (well, their kids to old guys like me) got a chance to see the Chi-Cheemaun ferry unloading the vehicles it brought from Manitoulin Island. (the largest freshwater island in the world BTW). The ferry is 360' long and can carry 240 cars. (see, this blog site is educational so you're not just wasting time reading this blog site!)

Tomorrow, we add a new Great Lake to the water Haida Legend has navigated!
