July 9 - Longuissa Bay

One of many houses on the rocks

It was great to be out on the water today, and there were many boats out with us in beautiful Georgian Bay. We had to watch our GPS, charts, and visible buoys closely because THE ROCKS WERE EVERYWHERE! Every once in a while there were also bottles tied in the water to mark another newly- discovered ROCK! The scenery was almost other-worldly with homes built on rock boulders in the middle of the water. We have speculated that these houses must be built in the winter, when trucks would be able to drive across the ice with building materials. The water was also so clear that you could see how close we sometimes got to the rock ledges along the channels. We attempted to go into one anchorage today, but though it was very beautiful, the large amount of boats there did not give us a safe feeling, so we traveled on to lovely Longuissa Bay, where we were sheltered and a little farther off the beaten track. Even in this spot there were nine other boats with us, but at least we were well spread out.
