M_Boats: Great cruise coming to an end

Julie and I just got a slip in Little Current, Ontario after 8 days cruising the North Channel of Lake Huron, above Manitoulin Island. Great weather, sweet blue water, green forest, and pink, white and grey granite. Every night at anchor, sometimes in 25 feet, last night in 4 feet. The weather was a gift this past week and a half, compared to earlier in the summer from other reports. Today's trip from the Benjamin Islands back to port was a highlight. Genoa poled out, wing on wing for 4 hours at 4-5 knots. No tweaking. Total relaxation (mostly for the person off the tiller). Great chance to clean up the boat while under way.
