THE BEGINNING OF THE NORTH CHANNEL


Day 65 SAT AUG. 6, 2011
CLOUDY, BREEZY T-STORMS FORECAST
DEP. BAE FINE 10:45 ARR. LITTLE CURRENT, ONT 2:00
D.25.0sm/1118.1
Little Current is an interesting little village at the beginning of the North Channel.  The village has sunk a ton of money into the marina with new floating docks, new power stations, bathrooms, showers, etc.  All very nice.  It is mostly a summer destination for tourists, but I didn’t see any hotels or motels, so I guess it’s just for boaters or day trippers.  Nice marina, but I couldn't get any pictures of the town.  Every mornong at 9:00 Roy hosts a cruiser's net from here.  On channel 71, he reads the weather and news then boaters in the area call in to report where they are and where they are going that day.  It's neat in that it allows you to keep tract of people you have met.
