June 4-6, 2009 - Tobermory, Ontario

We crossed the 100-mile width of Lake Huron in very favorable wind conditions. The lake water was 38 degrees, and the air temperature was not much more. Out came the long underwear!



We decided to spend a couple nights in South Cove Harbor, one of our favorite anchorages.












We were the only boat in the anchorage, not surprisingly, as it is very early in the season.












We launched the dinghy, dressed warmly, and headed to our cottage on Stag Island, just two miles away. We started the refrigerator and pumped up the water tank, to get a head start on Wednesday’s planned opening and dock launching.








Back at South Cove, we were tucked securely within this “hurricane hole” harbor.













From the bow we could see “The Gut”, which is the back door to this harbor, accessible only by rowboat or canoe.











Saturday morning, we headed in the short distance to Tobermory, and docked in our slip for the season. Winds were moderate, but still cold with nighttime temperatures in the 40s.








Until early July, we will be at our cottage. Stay tuned for further blogs of our planned Lake Superior trip, which will extend from then until mid-August.
