Bustards, Collins Inlet and Killarney
2 days in the Bustards were not enough. The anchorage was tight and somewhat crowded but the scenery like a Kiwanis travelogue... better. Out in the Bay, then navigating our way back in was tough and yet obviously successful. It was the 1st day I have not moved since we left Lexington 6/24 and that's OK. A tiny, picturesque bay behind 2 bald boulders adjacent to our boat yielded a 3' exit that the kayaks barely fit threw (tighter than a bull's ass at fly time) and opened into a few narrow turns . As the map showed, we were then able to turn into Wick's inlet which was a mile long , narrow (40 yd.) channel that led beyond the trees to the barren, bald rocks on the shore of GB. Above treeline on a backpack trip. The Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe. Thru the looking glass. What adjective have I not used. I need a thesaurus. It was way better than good. I wore my Dr. shade hat. As we left the Bustards, we went out what is called The Gun Barrel into GB. Good wind then back in to Beaverstone Bay. At the end of that was our narrowest, shallowest channel yet as we turned the corner into Collins Inlet. A canyon of sorts and like I imagine a small fjord to be. Part way up we anchored in a bulge called Mill Lake. No luck fishing. Setting out today through the rest of CI, we promptly had a bear cub swim across the channel in front of us Leaving CI there was light wind so we had the spinnaker up until Killarney. Fun. Killarney is small but welcoming. We hit our 3rd and last famous place for fish... Herbert's for a slightly late lunch. It is an old school bus painted red at the town docks with picnic tables . Terrific, scrumptious, delicious fish. Hit the LCBO (Liquor Control Board Outlet), Pittsfield general store, swam, showered, read, napped, kayaked, cock-tailed, ate, blogged and hopefully,soon to bed.
