It's a Long Way to Tobermory

Two days traveling up the coast has landed us in Tobermory.  The first leg from Kincardine to Chantry Island (Southampton) was what cruising is all about: 

A lovely broad reach in about 12 knots of wind...

... and a peaceful anchorage for the night.

On the way we passed the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant.  Reg sent a photo to his father who regaled us with stories the construction of Bruce A in the 70's.








The second leg from Chantry to Tobermory was the other side of cruising.  Motoring in the doldrums, a quick exciting sail later in the day, a tangled jib furler, a soaked crew (well, only me), and abandoned plans to anchor because the wind direction was all wrong. Luckily, Little Harbour in Tobermory never turns anyone away and they were able to squeeze us on to the end of a dock. 

We fit on this dock like the slipper on an ugly stepsister.

Planning to anchor in Wingfield Basin on the north east corner of the Bruce Penninsula for one or two nights now.  We'll be without wi-fi so I'll post again in a few days.
