Baie Finn, Canada – Sunday July 11, 2010

We left Gore Bay today and headed to Baie Finn – specifically, MaryAnn Cove. The route was a little tricky for us novice north channel boaters, but with me on scout at the bow and the captain using his electronics, we not only managed to not hit any submerged boulders, we didn’t even SEE any! The North Channel waters are covered with rocky areas – and in fact, have a rock named “cash flow rock” for the simple reason the rock has caused more damage than any other! It creates a generous “cash flow” for the local marine service shops – so, we hope to avoid that route! There were several boats in this anchorage and it got more crowded on our second day. One boater advised that they saw a bear walking along the rocky cliff the night before…so, we broke out Janie’s “cow bell” and put that on her neck – she is none too happy to where such a hideous necklace, but we would hate to update the blog with a bear attack – so, little miss sassy britches is wearing it!
