And Bears, Oh My




We were sitting at anchor at Thomas Bay and the wind was blowing like crazy and everyone in the bay was nervous about their anchor holding. A power boat from Michigan came in and tried to set their anchor. They seemed to be doing everything right, but their anchor just would not hold. After numerous failed attempts, I got in our dinghy and went over and offered to help them tie to a tree on shore. After we finally got a couple of lines secured, they invited Laurie and me over for a drink.

While we were sitting on their boat, a family of three bears came walking along the rocks, right where we had tied the lines. Luckily, the daughter, Samantha had a great camera and is an accomplished photographer. She snapped all these pictures as we watch them wander along the shore line.









This little guy actually chewed on the line we had tied.


We watched the bears for close to a half an hour and met a really nice family. This was a great day in the Georgian Bay.
