Blind River, ON to North Channel Anchorages

We find a small cove by Dewdney Rock which is already inhabited by two other boats. We drop anchor and are good for the night.

The views in this little cove are just beautiful!

We dunk the dinghy for the first time. The performance and stability is not quite what we expected. It will get us to a nearby shore, but that is about all. The dinghy is put back before the arrival of the upcoming storm.

The storm passes, leaving everything wet, but we still enjoy the sunset from our little hideaway.

The next morning we pull anchor and head to another area. They are expecting high winds, so we need to find a well protected cove.

We head east through the North Channel and pass through the Little Detroit Cut.

There are more boats in this anchorage than before, likely as it is very protected and the anchor grabs securely without rock and grass hindering the set. What sets this anchorage apart from others, is the cottage owners. They come by kayaks and invite you over for happy hour. Those anchoring, take their dinghies, with your own drinks, and head over to Elaine and Norm’s for a meet and greet.

When anchoring, we cook most meals using our small grill which doesn’t require running the generator. Sometimes we have visitors who like to “snap” up anything that happens overboard.

Anchoring for three nights was just long enough. In an ironic twist, tomorrow we head back to land to get water! On to Little Current, ON.
