Whew....what a big day for we nomads. Mark was up early (as always) and so in awe of the beauty at our very tranquil anchorage (The Pool), so he took these pics at 6:15.
We left the Pool at 9 and cruised 26 miles back to Killarney. It was a perfect day with sunshine (although still hazy from the wildfires), calm water and 70's. A great day in the North Channel. Along the way we saw these 8 teen boys leaving their campsite in 4 canoes - yesterday they were all set up and had several coolers down by the water enjoying themselves.

Pretty little island
17 small boats (all Grady White center cockpit) passed us today going towards The Pool.....they spent last night in Killarney (at the lodge) and today were out and about but back here tonight.
Arrived here at 11:45 and Red was waiting to take our lines at the Killarney Mountain Lodge Marina,. Got settled with power and water hookup and off to Gateway for lunch and iced coffee. We shared a chicken caesar wrap with Greek salad (we've had several Greek salads up here in Canada - all delicious).
And then to make another attempt to see the Killarney Lighthouse - Saturday was muddy and buggie, but this time we took the road versus the trail - part was paved and then more loose gravel/sand and finally climb some rocks............a young couple with boy/girl kiddos (6 and 8) were behind us so we took each others pics - they are from Grand Rapids, MI.

Us at the Killarney Lighthouse
Beauty along the way
We saw several elementary school children on our way to the lighthouse - wondered if they were locals and where they went to school or visitors. We took a different street when we got back into town and came across this school.
St. Joseph Catholic School
This is pre K thru grade 8 - I imagine the classes are small as there are just 397 year-round residents. Wonder about the high schoolers?
There are several boats here from MI tonight - Charlevoix, Traverse City (2), Petoskey, Bayport, Harrison Township (2), and Clarkston.
We went to the Ranch House for dinner - oh my..............fabulous views, food and service with Ross who was outstanding!!! We noticed so many employees here at the Mountain Lodge have the neatest accents - well, Ross is from Australia and his wife, from the UK. They are here for the summer - he talked about the placement service restaurants/resorts use to bring in employees for the summer months from everywhere!

Cheers!
Today we had a high of 78 - tomorrow, 66 predicted with a 90% chance of rain! We are ready for a "down" day!
