Sorry for the delay in our postings (Sue), we’ve been having too much fun with friends in various ports!

To continue:

Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. we pulled out of Killarney Bay  in a warm sunny breeze.

    

Since we had plenty of time we decided to take a side trip through Frazer Bay and up Baie Fine (pronounced “bay fin”).  Baie Fine is one of the largest freshwater fjords in the world with beautiful views of quartz mountains and shoreline and is a popular side trip for sailors cruising the North Channel.

                

There was very little boat traffic and, as usual, we dodged rocks just beneath the surface of the water.  With the increased height of the landscape (mountains) formed by glaciers years ago, the scenery was a dramatic change.

        

            

There is only one eastern access to Little Current and The North Channel and it is controlled by a one-lane railroad bridge, converted into a highway.  It only opens once an hour during daylight hours.  It was tense timing the bridge and traffic, but we made the hourly bridge opening with five other boats and were ready to dock at Port of Little Current.

    

It was already late afternoon by the time we docked and checked in and we decided to take a tour of the small town.  Being Sunday afternoon, most of the town was closed.  Tom and Patty on board “The 7th. Day”  arrived and we visited with them and a few local boaters on the dock before calling it a day.
