It was really really cold this morning! It feels like winter is coming. It was overcast, but calm. We traveled through two difficult and narrow channels, Cunningham's Channel & Roger's Gut. We went up the Bad River & instead of anchoring we tied to the flat rock wall. The water is deep right up to the rock. We found a section where we could step right off the boat to explore. There were blueberry bushes all over. There was also a fire pit right next to the boat. A little later in the day fellow loopers, Linda & Rob on Errante, came in and tied to us. We first met them in Midland, Ontario.
We went to explore the area by dingy. There are several small rapids in the area. We were told that if you have a powerful dinghy motor, you can pound through the deep water up Devil's Door Rapids. We went for it, and it turned out to be a wild scary ride, but lots of fun. Rob & Linda had a 5 horsepower motor & didn't have enough power to go up the rapids.
Next we plan to head to Killarney.

Going to the rapids with Linda & Rob.
Their motor wasn't powerful enough to go up the rapids.
There was a fire pit right next to the boat. Al made a fire to keep us warm & also keep the
mosquitoes away.
