Left Parry Sound this morning bound for Byng Inlet; got as far as Kilbear Point and the starboard engine coughed and stopped. Came back to Sound Boat Works in Parry Sound. So far have changed an engine filter; starting to wonder if dirty fuel is the cause of all of our problems.
Again, we were lucky that we were not far from Parry Sound, and that Sound Boat Works were able to accommodate us. Scott and Marlene from Nomad passed us this morning just before we turned around, they planned to be in Killarney by tonight.
Had a nice visit with Ed and Nancy from Dream Fever, they will be here until their prop is repaired.

About Me
- Wayne and Ruth
- We are both retired. Ruth is a Registered nurse, taught nursing at the local Community college; Wayne is retired from farming, sold farm products. We are the proud parents of 3 children and 5 grandchildren. We are setting up this blog to record our adventure as we plan for and travel the great loop. We started our adventure by finding "just the right boat" in Georgian Bay, Kilbear marina, in May of 2008. She is a 36' Senator aft cabin motor yacht, with twin diesel engines. Our big adventure that summer was bringing the boat home through the Trent-Severn waterway to Crysler Park marina on the St. Lawrence River. Then in July of 2009, we left to do the triangle, down the St. Lawrence to Montreal, up the Ottawa River, and down the Rideau Canal to Kingston, and back down the St. Lawrence to Crysler Park. Good way to get to know our boat better. We are spending the fall and winter of 09-10 preparing both ourselves and the boat for our trip. We left in July of 2010, heading up the St. Lawrence to Trenton, then back up the Trent-Severn system to Georgian Bay and beyond, completing the loop in the summer of 2011.
