Killarney, Ontario—not Ireland and above the 46th parallel
Every morning we check all the weather indicators we have: Weatherbug, NOAA, Wunderground, IKITESURF.com etc. This morning even through we’d had only one lovely day in Tobermory, we decided to cruise across Georgian Bay before the next storm with thunder, rain and strong winds arrive Tuesday. After a great breakfast at the Princess Hotel, we pulled off the dock cruising past Flower Island.
On Flower Island there are two flowerpots that are quite a tourist attraction. Legend says there were a beautiful Indian Prince and Princess from warring tribes who fell in love. They ran away and canoed to Flower Island. Their tribes followed, but instead found them turned to stone. Those limestone pillars are now called the flowerpots of Flower Island.
We arrived at Killarney at 1:30 to be greeted by 4 other Grand Banks and one Looper! So, tonight the party is on the Muriel June. The Grand Banks are returning from Parry Sound where there was a Grand Banks Rendezvous and all heading to Wisconsin. Sorry we missed it! But, tonight we will get caught up on all that we missed. We are now at the 46th parallel.
