Pictures - Day 6

Sturgeon Lake, calm as glass and the only ones out this morning

Still a long way to go

Island getting closer
Can see rain again on shore but doesn't come anywhere near us

Home for the night and a visit from Julie's Kids

Unpacked from Kayak ready to setup camp
Julie enjoying sunset after kids leave, don't worry girl you will see them tomorrow with two days off in Buckhorn

Julie updating her Blog post for the day
Where did that sun go...
View from camp

Pictures - Day 7

Morning coffee

Figured out where to put it and then proceeded to spill all over inside of kayak, did it twice then gave up and drank the thing

Haunted House, scary

Yeah, yeah, I'm coming.
Two days off and sitting on the beach with drinks at Oak Bay

Pictures - Day 8

Seriously, work?

That's better, let's go do some water sports

Still got it, but only for about 2 minutes

Found Santa and apparently he likes to fish, nice bass Santa and good for you on the catch and release. 3lbs Largemouth.

6lbs 23.5inch pickeral, too big to keep. Guess there is some fishing to be had in these parts. There is also a pro fisherman here at the resort and he came back with some nice muskee, didn't get a chance to take pictures and the one that got away right at the boat was a four foot one

Day off and still out there paddling...

Chris hanging a street light, you pole climber you

Ah Chocolate...
So many to choose from, where to start.

Relaxing after nice dinner

Pictures - Day 10

Leaving Oak Bay after 2 day rest

First Lock of the Day, Buckhorn, holds the record for most boats in one lock

Julie already pulling away

Catching up eventualy

Crazy little houseboat, first saw them at Fenelon Falls

Don't stay here in a kayak, lots of racoons and even bears!

Sunfish swallowed the hook, no worries got it out and saved the day

Whizzed by us at Lovesick and broke down at Burleigh Falls, who's faster now big boy

Burleigh Falls Lock

Opps, where is Julie?

Ah, there she is, don't worry wasn't really going to leave her
Julie's favorite cottage, found at the entrance to a shortcut back channel
Swamp doesn't look too bad, hope we can get out the other side
Look, more ducks
And a rock
And Mr. Turtle
So far so good
All clear up here
Difficult to get close to the Blue Heron, they just fly off when they see you
Church Rectory (on an Island)
St. Peters on the Rock Church
Open door policy
Little Island for break before crossing Clear Lake, someone had setup a makeshift shelter among the rocks but didn't get a picture, had to run to save kayaks from boat waves and washing up on the rock, otherwise we would have had to use that shelter
Clear Lake scattered with Sailboats, this was my favorite
My favorite cottage at Youngs Point
The "nice" Osprey who crapped on our tent
Youngs Point lock, our home for the night
Camp Site, close to road but still very quiet
Rained for about 5 minutes then this was the view
