We leave Tobermory in in order to get to our next stop Wingfield basin before the weather changes. It is a brisk but pleasant trip. As we enter the anchorage the first Horse Fly bites a chunk out of my neck. That sucker bit me faster than……and drew blood as well. Terri and I both remember past visits here and the mosquitoes, but these horse flies seem a new irritant. Press on, anchor and get below and maybe the flies and mosquitoes will leave us alone. There is only one other boat in the harbor and we have the choice of the primo spot. Soon the other boat leaves and it is just us and the tormentors. Terri is busy so I launch the dinghy and take Smudge for a little ride. Even at a 20 mph we are not shed of the insect menace. But we decide to go ahead and Terri joins us for a tour of the anchorage. After, we take Smudge back to the boat and go for a tour of the light house. We have toured this place before and always enjoy the view and the conversation with the volunteer keepers. This time we catch them packing to leave after their week here and too busy to talk. But we still climb to the top of the light house for a spectacular view. Terri snapped some pictures but as it was through the glass they did not turn out very well. She also took a couple of pics of the long path from the harbour up to the light house. I will attach one of those. Soon enough the afternoon wanes into evening and after dinner I try my hand at fishing. Just off the back of the boat but no luck as usual. It doesn’t bother me as I didn’t want to have to clean any fish tonight. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
Cheers,
