We are back in the North Channel. After a week of fun with family and friends at Fireside Inn, we said a tearful goodbye to everyone and headed back across the lake. It was a bumpy day on Lake Huron with 3-4 foot waves, with the occasional, 6 footer thrown in for good measure. The seas were from behind, which can cause the boat to roll back and forth, uncomfortably. After we got through the Mississaugi Straights, things settled down. We bypassed Meldrum Bay and headed right to an anchorage at Turnbull Island. After a ten hour trip, we had the anchor down and were enjoying the view.
We are sharing this spot with five other boats, but there is plenty of room and we don't feel crowded. It was in this anchorage that Laurie, Hayley and I made our first stop on our first North Channel trip, back in 1998. We have not been back here since then. It has been fun for Laurie and me to reminisce about that trip and all we have learned about the North Channel.
