Oak Island

Our trip from Parry Sound to Byng Inlet had us going out in open water on Georgian Bay for a bit the coming in along the shore in defined Chanel with lot’s of easy to see markers. While in Byng Inlet we saw 2 boats getting hauled out after hitting rocks. The place where they hit rocks had post’s of others hitting rocks in the same area !

We thought that services like towing, haul out and propeller repair seemed to be a good business to be in. The marina offered all these services for the Great Loop boater’.

The Garmin Chart Plotter shows the bottom depth and where rocks are and allows you to magnify the image to cover an area of say 100 feet in front of the boat.

We spent 2 days in Byng the second day mostly to avoid higher wind.

The marina was more remote than any other spot we stayed at and had bear warnings with no trash left out a night.Read more
