    Heading north, we landed at the most beautiful spot in ALL the Muskokas. And I know that’s a big statement. But Ethel Lodge on Pine Lake is out of this world. And can you believe it, we took the Annie Mae steamboat out with Uncle Bill at the helm and we lunched in picnic bay. Hamburger soup, homemade bread and butter tarts. Wow wow wow. The weather is unbelievable. +23!!

    And I did swim the 79 metres across to the point and the 79 metres back. And it was freaking cold. Like so cold once I dove in, I was not sure I should have tried. I got a few metres out and wasn’t warming up and was having a hard time breathing. But I figured it out and swam to the point and back. But I couldn’t put my head in to swim. Just too cold. 🥶
    Dinner and then stargazing to try to see the comet. Amazed that I was able to capture the Big Dipper so clearly. Night night!    Read more
