We are now en route from Kilarney to Cove Island. We left Kilarney at 7:30 am & should arrive at our destination around 1:00 pm this afternoon. A short passage today of about 40 nm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We spent last night at a dock in Kilarney at the Kilarney Mountain Lodge. This is a really neat place at the eastern end of the channel that passes in front of the town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>New owners have recently taken over the place and are investing a lot of money into improving & updating the property. They even have 2 bright red Muskoka chairs at the end of every dock for boaters to relax in & enjoy the view.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not far away from the Lodge is a very unique Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) store with its very own dock for their boating customers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We also met some really nice dockmates yesterday. Tied up in front of us were Owen & Happy, from Madison, IN aboard their 1971, 30′ Palmer Johnson sailboat that they have named EXEAT, which in Latin means “she goes out”. How cool is that? 👌<\/p>\n

Owen was telling me that he bought the boat 15 years ago as a bit of a project boat. He repaired the entire deck as well as making many other improvements over the years. Owen & Happy have been cruising in the North Channel for over 10 years. They joined us for a drink after dinner & Chris shared some local charting knowledge with them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shortly after sunset another boat came into the opposite side of the dock that we were tied up to. Chris went over to help him tie up his boat & invited him to join us for a nightcap. Rick Stout is a professional boat captain & marine consultant. He specializes in boat deliveries, training skippers on how to handle their own boats, boat repairs, etc.<\/p>\n

Rick was born & raised in the Owen Sound area and has been boating since the time he could walk. His father & his grandfather made their living as professional boat captains & Rick has followed in their footsteps. He has so any stories to tell about life & boating in this whole area that he is writing a book about it. He’s not sure when it will be finished but when it comes out I want to buy a copy!<\/p>\n

Over & over again we keep meeting such nice & interesting people. That’s a big part of the boating life!<\/p>\n

Cheers everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
