Day 124: Wednesday, August 17th: We got this picture in the anchorage last night about dark; bad picture, but pretty moon:

We rounded the point with a lighthouse leading to Little Current:
We are now entering the North Channel at the north end of Lake Huron and leaving Georgian Bay. Just east of the first town, Little Current, is a big swing bridge that opens only on the hour. We timed our arrival perfectly; it's opening right on schedule!
It took six minutes to open enough for anyone to pass through. However, we were warned not to go through until it was fully open. Sigh!

The street-front shops were barking for late-season business. They were really charming:
Position tonight: N45 58.961 W081 55.639
