July 24 There is a reason it is called Stony Lake

We spent most of the day at Stony Lake because it was a spectacular day.  Clear, low humidity, and tolerable temperature.   Here the Canadian belt of granite begins.  We can see hundreds of pink granite rock outcrops everywhere here in the area called the Kawartha Lakes.  I was quite nervous trying to anchor in an area of solid rock, but we were able to find a good holding ground.   It was cool in the morning and the pic below shows Chelsea dressed for the coolness.  Then, a pic of the crew in chairs on the “jump off rock” outcrop near our anchorage.   In the late afternoon, we pulled anchor and headed for Lovesick Lock, which is an island – you can only get there by boat.   Even the lockmasters have to get here by boat.  In the pics, you can see Ethan getting a rowing lesson, and Sean giving us a concert on the guitar.
