The one thing that Terri insists upon is to have the fish and chips at The Bus. Terri has long rated this as the best and the one that all others are compared to. Today I agree with her as the whitefish and perch fillets are done to perfection. After lunch we continue touring and again check out the Sportsman’s Inn. There is a rendezvous there presently and the place is hopping. The new owners have spent a bundle and the place looks fabulous. I am pleased that somebody has returned this facility to its former glory. North Channel cruisers are sure to have a choice for many years to come. Let’s hope high fuel prices and currency fluctuations don’t sink the efforts of these entrepreneurs. We pass St. Bonaventure Catholic Church which watches over mariners and as always when we are in Killarney pay a little visit. There is a guest registry at the main entrance and the signatures show that people far and wide have visited. There is only one mass advertised which is on Saturday at 1500 hrs. This is better than the last visit we had last year when there was no service offered. The next day we spend doing chores and stocking up on supplies and generally try to keep cool. All works out in the end but there is no end to the heat wave in sight. After two days and nights here we are ready to move on. But because there is a somewhat reliable internet signal we decided to stay one more day allowing Terri to connect to work and do her thing. This is fine and it must be done. But in the heat Terri ends up working about 6 hours and is pretty much spent come evening. We have made reservations at the lodge for diner and manage to make it there for about 1800 hrs. We are the first ones to arrive and we settle in for a nice dinner. Terri has a glass of wine and I opt for a Caesar. I ask the waitress if the bar tender can make a Canadian Caesar. The look on her face convinced me that she was clearly in the dark. But she did offer to order a Canadian Caesar. After visiting Florida the last few years I learned that American bar-tenders have no idea. They think Clamato juice and a course salted rim is all there is to it. So this is why I asked for one up here. It did arrive and it wasn’t bad, but definitely not up to standard as there was no celery and no dill pickle. Was spicy though! An early night turned into the next day and it was time to move on.
Cheers,
