We’re at the Bustard Islands out in the Georgian Bay. There is very weak and expensive internet here, so I’ll post pictures later. It’s a beautiful group of about 100 islands on the Northwest side of the Georgian bay.
We crossed the open waters of the Georgian Bay with almost no waves. About 4 hours of the trip was practically out of sight of land, like this picture.
We’re anchored inside one of the many deep and winding bays in the Dustard Islands group. It’s equally pretty to Kumfort Island, but there is nothing like the solitude we had last night. This view of Nonchalance doesn’t look crowded, but we’re off in a quiet bay.
The main anchorage about half of a mile away looks like this… there are 9 boats anchored there with 3 large trawlers rafted together.
And a closer look at the picture of Nonchalance above shows a second large anchorage with 5 more boats can be seen in the distance through a narrow channel.
However, there is more than a hundred times this much space in the island group, so when we dinghy around to go fishing we’re practically alone on the water or walking around the granite islands. There’s certainly room for this many boaters in the large island group. We all just cluster together here because the anchorages are completely protected harbors with no waves regardless of the winds.We’ll stay here tomorrow to fish and explore and then plan to go to the town of Killarny on Wednesday.
