Our first post while at anchor

As described earlier we now have Internet connection capabilities while we are away from marinas and conventional wireless access. We are using a 4G wireless hotspot we purchased last week when we were in the Soo (Canada) and it is really cool. We left Blind River yesterday around 1PM and had a short and smooth passage over to one of our favorite anchorages in Longpoint Cove. We are here with four other boats and enjoying the rest and relaxation after the hectic launch and provisioning that happens at the beginning of each season.

While sitting here at anchor on Tuesday morning in dense fog I spotted a large bird on a dead tree across the bay, grabbed my binoculars and sure enough it was a bald eagle. It was barely visible but I confirmed it was a baldy. It flew away shortly after that so no photo op was possible. That's the first one of those I have seen in all the years we've been coming up here.



Took some long didtance shots of some local bird favorites. I will get closer as the summer procedes.
