Killarney Sunday, August 3, 2008

Dear Ones: We are in Killarney which is at the western end of the Georgian Bay. Pictures don't begin to do justice to the beauty of this area. It is absolutely beyond description!

We left Thursday am, having delayed a day due to rain, and traveled to Parry Sound, some on the small craft route and some outside. A wonderful, if somewhat windy and rough, day with a stop at the world famous Henry's for lunch. You can get to Henry's only by boat or float plane, of which there were several docked. Friday, we traveled to Byng Inlet, Saturday to Collins Inlet and Mill Lake. We anchored out in a beautiful secluded lake. Today, we made the short run to Killarney, a delightful little fishing (and boat tourism) village.

Note the picture of the barrel - it was the original "light house" marking the entrance to Pointe au Barel Station. The residents simply lit a fire in the barrel - now replaced with a beautiful lighthouse.

See you out there somewhere . . . .
