Mom's back

Saturday – Today is the day that we get to pick up Gaye from Blind River. Great day with no winds or waves. We made it into Blind River around 9:30 and get diesel, water, and a pump-out.

Fuel was 3.50 per gallon and we took on 50 gallons. Over the last week, we have used just 1.80 gallons per hour or about 4.1 miles per gallon which is great for a boat. Many boats that we call “go-fast boats” that are the same size as our boat burn 18 to 30 gallons per hour or about 1 mile per gallon.

We made our way to our anchorage at Moiles Harbour which is with-in the Whaleback area of the North Channel. It is named Whaleback because of the many many rocks that come out the water and look like the backs of a whale. We enjoyed the exploring of the rocks/islands. Alex and Gaye went fishing in the evening and caught many good sized bass.
Internet Update: No Verizon service. Had free high-speed Internet access when fueling at Blind River Marina.
