Friday 7/28 we pulled the hook in the Bad River and back out into the open water of Georgian Bay headed to Beaverstone Bay on our way to Collins Inlet.
Once we got back out into Georgian Bay we could see mountains in the distance!
Sunday morning we woke up to a sunny but cool 63 degrees with winds around 13mph. Great morning to have blueberry pancakes! Yum!
We pulled the anchor after breakfast headed to our next anchorage, Mill Lake Green Island. This was just an overnight stay before heading into Killarney the next day. We had made reservations at the Killarney Mountain Lodge Marina for next Saturday and Sunday and are looking forward to spending the week in Covered Portage Cove, which was just on the other side of Killarney.
We started into Killarney Monday morning, looking for gas for the dinghy, a pump-out and fresh water. Turns out that Killarney is very busy around 11 o'clock with boats leaving and coming into the marinas. We hadn't seen this much boat activity since our last trip to Put-In-Bay! We finally got what we needed and headed to Covered Portage Cove.
Based on the boat activity, we weren't too surprised when we got to Covered Portage that it was packed full of boats. So we anchored in Killarney Bay for the night hoping to get into Covered Portage tomorrow.

Just as expected, Covered Portage started to empty out pretty early and we moved on in. We got a great spot and stern tied to the shore. This would be our home until next Saturday.
We had a great week in Covered Portage. Met so many boaters...most stayed only a night or two. We took the dingy to Killarney a couple of times....just to ride through, have lunch. We hiked up the mountain with Roxie and she LOVED it! Being that we were not in the inner part of the cove, we couldn't get a picture or Cheers. But we did find more blueberries!
Coming into Covered Portage Cove, your welcomed by the Indian Head rock formation....can you see it?

Killarney is home of the famous Herbert Fisheries. The fish is caught daily in Georgian Bay. It is hands down the best fish and chips we have had so far on our journey. So much so, we had it twice during our week in Covered Portage!
Storm coming in!
A bunch of dinghy's came in from Killarney and were jumping off the cliffs.
We had a great relaxing time in Covered Portage and now looking forward to having a couple of days on the dock with access to the amities of the lodge.
