The morning dawned overcast and cold (low 50s) I had to turn the heat on before the Admiral would get out of bed and fix breakfast. While we were eating Diana looked out the window and there were three otters on the next dock over. Needless to say breakfast was interrupted while the camera came out.
By the time I went up to the lodge for internet access and all, it was after nine before we got underway. With a short day planned and the cold we were in no rush. We went out the west 
entrance to the Killarney channel and proceeded down the Lansdowne Channel. Then it was west to the entrance to the Little Current narrows.
The Little Current Bridge opens on the hour. Going the other way we took the bimini down an
d didn’t wait, this time we got there about 11:55, so 
we just waited for the noon opening. Then it was through downtown Little Current, past the interesting little buoy that swings
with the current to show which way it is running.
It was then another 30 miles west in the North Channel to beautiful Gore Bay. Finally about 2:00 we meet a clearing line headed east. The noon temperature in Little Current had been only 62. The sunshine was sure appreciated.
Being a summer Sunday we saw lots of sailboats headed in all directions. This is a great cruising area for sailboats.
By 4:00 we were pulling into the Gore Bay Municipal Marina. This is a lovely facility that is a favorite with travelling boaters and also has a 25 boat charter sailboat fleet based here. They have the finest docks we have seen on the trip. They are almost new and the double slips are forty feet wide.
Another great day (if you had enough clothes on).
