Killarney

We have finally been able to move on. Left Wrights marina this morning, came through Cunningham’s and Rogers Gut, both narrow areas where you need to watch your markers. Had a few miles in the open, but today it was a nice smooth ride. Then up through Beaverstone Bay and into Collins Inlet, a long narrow rock cut separating Philip Edward island from the mainland. It was a very pretty run. We’ve seen a lot of rocks in Georgian Bay, but they vary from Southern part to up here in the northern bay. We came around Red Rock Point and the lighthouse and into Killarney. And all without any “incidents” with either engine. Cloudy this morning but nice and sunny this afternoon, a beautiful day to travel.


Killarney, with a population of 430, was founded in 1820. It was once a busy commercial fishing village; it only became accessible by road in 1962. One must do for Killarney is to eat Fish and Chips at Herbert Fisheries’ Mister Perch; fresh fish is cooked in an old school bus right at the public dock. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

We are docked at the Sportmans Inn, a beautiful lodge and marina. Met some other loopers here, Mark and Sylvia from Florida and David and Mary in Ganymede, from Houston Texas.
