August 9-10 The largest freshwater island in the world

We made way for Little Current for the town docks early because stormy weather was forecast starting in the afternoon. There we met with Roy Eaton who sponsors the Crusiers Network. Every morning on VHF 71, Roy broadcasts the news to cruisers and then all boats in the North Channel of the Georgian Bay call in thier location so, for safety reasons, our boats can be tracked. We met Roy at the AGLCA meeting in Norfolk back in May and invited him to the boat. The first pic is Roy onboard with several other loopers who docked up next to us. The next morning, we visited Roy at the broadcast studio and listened to the broadcast live (second pic). The last pic shows a sign about the Manitoulin Islands, which (the sign said) was the largest frest water island in the world. It was stormy and very windy today, so we stayed put.
