Happy A-R-R-R-R...in the North Channel

The gang gathers...that is Brad to the far left.

Last summer ( 2012) near the end of my visit with Brad on board Wavelength up in the North Channel we stopped for a night at Mosquito Island about an hour`s sail out of Little Current. We had arrived very early. At that time there was only one other boat in the bay. By mid afternoon there was a good group of boats anchored throughout the bay. One of the boater from Sarnia dingy`s around the bay planning a happy hour for 3pm on a tiny sandy beach. Well everyone showed up with a few cold ones and a snack. One of the boaters brought along a small folding table that was really handy. The group was an interesting one including a couple from Toronto that was looking after a friends boat for a couple of weeks to a Looper from the Boston area aboard a trawler. They were heading west through the North Channel, then down to Chicago and hopefully to the Florida Keys before it got cold. What a great experience that was meeting a fun bunch of boaters. I think that might have been the highlight of last years trip north...George

The gang gathers for a few cold ones and snacks. It was kind of nice to even have a table arrive by dingy.

Not everyone arrived in dingy`s some arrived by kayaks...inflatable ones to boot.

Mosquito has two sandy spots to land your dingy. This is a view from the second location looking out into the bay. The island has some really nice places to explore. We spend a good part of one day hiking the trails...will post some photos from our hike later on.
