Day #370 - Killarney, ON
August 5th, 2009We made it to Killarney, however not without incident. The seas were really rough and much heavier than we like them. There were four and five foot waves with the occasional six footers. It was an 80 miles trip that took 8 hours. As we approached Killarney these mountains appeared to have snow on them.
Since the high for the day was only 65, it is not unbelievable.
Welcome to Killarney.
We were never so glad to tie up to a dock. By far, this was our roughest day on the water. Good News handled the turbulence quite well considering that all of the dishes and bottles were rolling around in the cupboards as we took the waves. Glad to report that the only casualty reported was one candle and the toaster landed on the floor and made a mess. After putting the boat back together we were no worse for the wear, just extremely tired.
We walked into the little town and tried to do a little exploring.
Lots and lots of float planes are in this area. They take off and land all right in front of the marina.
We decided we were all too tired to even do dinner together to Brad and Patti went back to their boat and we grilled on ours. These kayakers paddled by. What a beautiful night.
Bet we will sleep like babies tonight.
