It’s that time of year. Yes, the days are getting shorter and the early mornings cooler. We decided that yesterday looked like a good day to move our dinghy, Shenanigans, from Brandys Island Marina near Honey Harbour, to Bayport Yachting Centre in Midland.
The lake was calm and the sun was shining, so we took advantage of the situation and had a picnic lunch in Fryingpan Bay, not far from Honey Harbour.
After our picnic, we took a little detour through Little Dog Channel, a narrow and picturesque passage nearby. We were hoping to see turtles sunning themselves on a log. We had seen them there many times before, but no such luck. They have probably already buried themselves in the mud for the winter.
When we got back to Brandys, I dropped Jane off so she could drive our car to Bay Port while I took the dinghy by water.
By now the weather had changed slightly. The wind, though light, had shifted from Northeast to Northwest, it’s prevailing direction. By the time I got out to a section of open water locals refer to as “The Gap”, calm waters were now rough.
I persevered though, keeping Shenanigans at a steady speed of about 20 kmp despite the bouncing and pounding.
I arrived at Bay Port a few minutes befor Jane did. We unloaded Shenanigans of anything that needed to come home and arranged for winterizing the motor. Another season over.
