We are now tied up on a dock in “downtown” Tobermory. Our original plan was to anchor in a very small bay on Cove Island, which is pretty close to Tobermory but the weather was not cooperating so we headed into the marina.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Little Tub Harbour Marina is right in the center of the action. The harbour is long & narrow & the main business & tourism section of the town surrounds it. In addition to all the pleasure craft there are numerous sightseeing passenger & dive boats going in and out of the harbour. Some of the best scuba diving on the Great Lakes is very close to Tobermory. In fact, the water area is so significant that Parks Canada has established Fathom Five Marine National Park in this region.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tobermory is also a very popular place for land based travelers, with bus tours as well as many cars traveling to Tobermory as their destination or perhaps boarding the Chichiman ferry over to Manitoulin Island. I am “cheating” a bit today with this posting because I took the photo below last year when I was here with Chris on his boat “Twocan”.<\/p>\n

This ferry is pretty neat. It runs between Tobermory & Manitoulin Island several times a day & in addition to carrying cars & their passengers it will also take walk on passengers who want to simply go back and forth on the same day – a bit of a budget cruise. They even do moonlight dinner cruises!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, Chris & I are now just chillin’ on the dock, people watching & contemplating our next day’s activities.<\/p>\n

Ananda is happy to be here & taking a break too.<\/p>\n

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