THE JOURNEYS OF TERRMAR IV: JULY 26-29,2013- HASTINGS VILLAGE MARINA TO PETERBOROUGH MARINA, ONT

OUR PLAN

We are writing this blog for one reason and one reason only. To provide a vehicle to make it easier to remain in touch with our family and friends back home.

Our plan is simple. Depart our home port of Goderich, Ontario in the Summer of 2011. Cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel of Lake Huron while visiting some of the ports and anchorages we have missed over the years. As well as revisiting some of our favourite haunts hopefully with some of our very good friends with whom we have cruised with many times before. All the while adding up the miles and gaining experience with our new trawler. Our first and only self imposed deadline is to be in the Chicago area around Labour Day. South of Chicago, weather and circumstances will guide us!

JULY 26-29,2013- HASTINGS VILLAGE MARINA TO PETERBOROUGH MARINA, ONT

Okay, today’s goal is to reach Peterborough Marina so Captain Mark was anxious to get underway. Perhaps a bit too anxious, when immediately we found ourselves in dense fog, travelling a snail’s pace trying to maneuver through the narrow, winding channel and praying the tiny, invisible fishing boats did NOT decide to anchor inside the channel.

About an hour or so later our visibility greatly improved, our hearts went back into our chests and Mark enjoyed a summer splash in Rice Lake!

Pea soup!

Out of the Fog

What Lies Beneath

Peterborough Fountain

Whew! Glad to finally be tied up in Peterborough Marina and looking forward to spending a few days with a time-out exploring the half-way mark on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
