Our time in the North Channel was relatively short. Ran into a few rough weather days, and started seeing “end of season” sale signs in the marina shops. By Meldrum Bay, the dockmaster greeted us by saying “It’s pretty late in the season for loopers”. Didn’t stop the Skipper from hunting frogs, and didn’t stop me from getting at least one swim in — even though the water was only about 68 degrees. Oh well, time to move on. We did discover that there was a boat rental outfit in Gore Bay that rents both power and sailboats to explore the area; further south, in Georgian Bay, there are the ubiquitous houseboats available for rent. If we ever want to come back up this way — and it would be well worth doing — I might consider those options or a cottage, if we decided against another full loop. That’s a thought for another day.
