After three uneventful days at anchor in Marianne Cove we headed back to Little Current for our last visit this season. Unfortunately, we may be here a few days waiting out windy conditions much like last weekend. August up here is noted for its windy days and we definitely believe it. As we white knuckled our docking around noon, we were witness to the first cruise ship making port here that we've seen in two years. The last one we saw was the notorious "Clelia II" that was featured in a YouTube video as it bounced around the South Ocean in December 2010. This year's ship, the Yorktown, is US based and makes regular trips between Detroit and Duluth during the summer season and other exotic spots the rest of the year. It's a very similar ship in size to the one my buddy Marty and I will be on this October when we make our way to South Georgia Island.
Our anchorage was rather calm with no invaders and no big fish. Although I did fish a bit most of the fish that followed my lure to the boat were the same size as the lure. A few did manage to get on but were tossed back. On Wednesday we climbed most of the way up Fraser Hill to make cell calls and connect to the Internet which cannot be done anywhere in Baie Fine. Our next destination will probably be Croker Island for another three nights.
