Little Current Harbor (where there was little current)After a quiet night at anchor, we traveled down the Landsdowne Channel past very large limestone rock islands to the town of Little Current, where the waters of the North Channel are funneled into a 100 yard passage into Georgian Bay. The town is on the tip of large Manitoulin Island and is connected to Goat Island by a swing bridge which opens up only on the hour for 15 minutes. Boats jockey in front of the bridge every hour in the swift-moving current to make it through. Because there was very "little current" today, we passed through very smoothly and were tied up at the Town Docks by 11:30 a.m. This was a good place to get groceries, and to do our final banking and laundry before we return to the U.S. They also had a Chinese restaurant that delivered dinner to the boat. This was a great preliminary to watching one of our "Charlie Chan" DVDs!
