Spent last night in a beautifully, clean and landscaped campground in Tobermory, Ontario. When we arrived the folks next door came over to tell us that a bear had ransacked our site the day before. Guess we will be keeping all the food in the car! We were introduced to “Lucky” the chipmunk, the camp critter, who had his cheeks full of peanuts, and went to sleep hoping the bear would not get an itch for a midnight snack.
Awoke around 4am to the sound of thunder and packed up quickly to avoid the rain the poured down before we made it to the main road. Got in the line-up for the ferry with a long wait ahead of us but luckily safe and dry.
Sully struck up a conversation with some local boys from around Owen Sound. They talked weather, fishing and beer, I guess some things are universal. We are now aboard the Chi-Cheemaun Ferry headed for South Baymouth across Lake Huron. The sun is peeking through the heavy clouds and the full moon is shining. We will be crossing the Fathom Five, a large Marine Park that is called the scuba diving capital of Canada due to a large number of shipwrecks. Heavy swells forced us out onto deck for most of the crossing but made it ashore for the next leg of our trip.
