Crossing Georgian Bay

We discussed the different routes we could take to go across Georgian Bay.  From a time perspective, we felt that we could not follow the “Small Craft” Channel that takes you on the north side of the bay.  We decided the best thing for us to do this trip was to cross the bay to Tobermory, ON.  This would be a 90 mile trip across.  Chris and I started out at 6AM so we could catch quite water first thing in the morning.  We reached Tobermory at 1:30PM  and refueled the boat.  Then they put us on a wall that was basically downtown.  We became an attraction. We felt a bit like animals in a zoo.  Chris could not get back on our boat for a few minutes because people kept taking photos of themselves with our boat!

The town is small and very focused on tourists.  Many clothing stores and gift shops. We found out that in the winter the place shuts down and only the grocery store, one hotel and the library remain open. 

We checked the weather and Lake Huron was going to be basically flat the next day.  So, we decided to make a crossing back into the USA.   We will have to come back and explore the Georgian Bay area again when we have a full summer to do so.
