Wright's Marina in Byng Inlet

Well decorated house along the road to Britt

Three of the looper boats left this morning; we decided to stay and wait for a wind out of the north, which is apparently much safer on this part of Georgian Bay because it does not give the water a chance to build big waves. Walked into Britt and got some groceries, also walked around a very pretty church and graveyard on the edge of the town. A sign says the church was built in 1917, but the graveyard has graves from the 1800's. Got together with Nancy and Eddie from Dream Fever for dinner; Nancy made a great stew, my contribution was homemade biscuits and salad. The weather is a little cooler, so it is a pleasure to dig into my tub of baking supplies and make something.
A couple of sailboats docked near us late this afternoon; the people had just come from Georgian Bay and they said the waves were terrible; they had a very difficult trip down from Killarney today, so we were glad we decided to wait a little longer.  We just hope that the people who left this morning had a good trip. At this point, the best forecast seems to be for Friday, so we plan to leave then.
