Mr. Perch at Herbert Fisheries, said to be the best Fish and Chips anywhere. They were good.

Travelled from Killarney to Little Current today, a trip of about 2 1/2 hours. Luckily, hit the swing bridge (which opens on the hour for 15 minutes) just about right, only waited a few minutes. Pleasant trip.  Came past Badgley Island which has a mining operation on it.  A lady at the ice cream parlour in Killarney told us that Manitoulin Island is the world's largest fresh water island.Little Current is on Manitoulin Island, actually the largest town on the island. Population is 1500 and there are two marninas besides the town docks wehre we are docked, two good grocery stores, drug stores, banks, plus Turners which is a department store with almost everything you could ask for, including a good selection of nautical charts.Quite windy here tonight. Once picture is of a poor little tree bending with the wind. Sounds almost like winter. Good internet access tonight, so am posting pictures from the past few days.
