Off to Haywood Island - North Channel 2013

Strawberry Island Lighthouse located near Little Current.
On my trip with Brad we left Logan Bay early in the morning making a stop in Little Current for the usual pump-out, fuel, some fresh steaks and a shower. It was off to Haywood Island for the night passing the lighthouse on Strawberry Island. This lighthouse is of particular interest to me as the GBYC club house is patterned after this structure. I had to get a few photos as we passed by. We spent the late afternoon at Haywood Island in the dingy around the harbour and downing some Stonewall Light ales with salsa and chips. A bottle of red wine and steaks finished off our day...George

One can see a fishing boat near the lighthouse. Off to the far left is the lighthouse docks were a group of kids are spending some time swimming. Not sure how they could swim as the water temp Brad recorded later in the day in Haywood harbour as only 67 degrees.
As one can see the action around the dock at Strawberry Island. It appears the lighthouse is still used as a summer residence. At this point most of the kids are out of the water...wonder why.
Brad digs into the salsa during our version of happy hour.
Found a new beer called Stonewall Light which tastes a lot like Corona and at half the price...the meaning being we can drink twice as much.
