Day 359

Miles Traveled: 43

Total Miles Traveled: 5410

  We said our goodbyes to Jeff and Susan as they headed back to Penetenguishene and we continued our exploration of Georgian Bay.  It is called the 30,000 Islands and they are plentiful.  Some are large, some are small, and some are just one big rock.

  One thing we discovered about the trees found on Georgian Bay is that they all seem to lean to the east.  We were told this is due to the high winds out of the west during the brutal winter months.

  We took a break from cruising at lunchtime and stopped at the famous Henry's Fish Restaurant on Frying Pan Island.  The pan fried pickerel (or walleye in the U.S.) was superb, and so was the butter tart.

  After the nice lunch break, we finished our cruising day at Parry Sound's Big Sound Marina.  It was a hot day and we were thankful to have electric for air conditioning.  Since we had lunch out, we had dinner in (leftovers), followed by an evening of relaxation.
