Kagawong

7-5-12

We suffered through another bug filled night in Covered Portage Cove.  It was 82 degrees when I crawled in my sleeping bag at 10:30 last night, but I zipped it up tight over my head in an attempt to keep out the bugs. I’m about bugged out.

We motored about 40 miles today over to Kagawong.  

N 45 degrees 54.623 minutes,  W 082 degrees, 15.560 minutes.

We passed through Little Current and waited a few minutes on the swing bridge to open.  (We can fit under the bridge, but since it was only a few minutes, we waited in line.)  The bridge only opens once every hour.

There was a cruise ship tied up in Little Current.  The Yorktown is 250’ long and carries about 160 passengers.

We had met the people on Karen Anne while we were in Killarney.  They’re from Indianapolis, and knew several people we know—like Rollie and Jim at West Marine.

When we got to Kagawong, Pam wanted to hike up the trail to Bridal Vail Falls.  It was a scenic trail along the river.

But the falls were not exactly secluded.

We plan to motor back up to Spanish tomorrow, and prepare to be Ford Trucked on the way home.
