Here is a hint to the location of one of the best anchorages on the Bay. Do you recognize the light station 

Met  buddy at a new to me anchorage this weekend after spending a couple of days in Killcoursie bay. Check out the pictures. 

A small visitor this weekend.

Ordered my MMSI number yesterday, by email. Amazing how the Canadian government has moved in to the 21st century. Lets see how long it takes to process the application. Sent the application Monday at noon and I did receive a reply by 2 pm saying I will receive my number by email when the app is processed. Hope I have it by the weekend :)

So Saturday morning they began to raise the anchor. It was so slow ..like watching the minute hand of a clock, but it finally broke the surface.The ship was originally powered by steam and still had the same motors for the anchor windless, so the crew was using compressed air to power the windless.  Attached are a couple of additional pictures from Saturday morning as they prepared to leave for Port.

The SS Keewatin is a passenger liner that once sailed between Port Arthur / Fort William and Port McNicoll in Ontario, Canada. She carried passengers between these ports for the Canadian Pacific Railway's Great Lakes Steamship Service. The Keewatin also carried packaged freight goods for the railway at these ports.^[1]

Built by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Scotland as Hull No. 453, the Keewatin was launched 6 July 1907 and entered service in the following year. She ran continuously for almost 60 seasons, being retired in 1966.

Just a couple of pics of the keewadin at anchor at Giants Tomb Isl. Oh and the tug that towed her all this way... The gull would'nt go away until I took it's picture. They are well trained, show up as soon as the BBQ is started :)

OK so finally settled on the radio model that I am happy with. I returned the first one  Standard Horizon 1600 and upgraded to a 1700...built in GPS. Its cool plugged it in and the GPS locked on the satellites and OMG I have Lat and Long on my Radio ...so DSC will work. Now all I have to do is apply for a MMSI number and I will be a happy boater......Check out my new radio shack.. well the start of it. 2 Meter radio to be added later this year when I get my Ham license.. brought to you from the mouth of the Mushquash River.
