August 7-8 A water wilderness, Baie Fine

We headed out of Killarney, and passed another BlueSkies (first pic) who we met. The owner was friends with the person we bought our boat from and he was estatic that our BlueSkies was seeing some of the best cruising grounds in the world. The weather forecast called for rain and and windy weather, but our destination was about 2 hours away and we planned to anchor in a safe, well protected area call Baie Fine (pronounced Bay Finn). This is one of the premier scenic areas of the Georgian Bay. It is a fjord, which is is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created in a valley carved by glacial activity. We found a nice cove and anchored up. Then, started exploring the fjord using the dinghy. Luckily the weather had turned nice. At the end of the fjord is "The Pool", where we beached the dinghy and hiked up the rocky cliffs to the top. There we peered out over Topaz Lake, a beautiful primitive lake named for its greenish-blue color (second pic). After a short swim, we hiked back down and headed back to BlueSkies. We past only one cabin. It was owned by Evenrude, who created the outboard motor. Every summer, he would bring his ship (115 foot) from Fla to Baie Finn and power the cabin using the boat !
The next day was a crisp, clear summer day. We decided to just stay in Baie Fine.
