Off to the town of Little Current on Manitoulin Island. My grandfather was born in Little Current in 1888. Obviously I am a little older than you, so I hope you don't mind doing the loop with you virtually!

I started watching for the Looping adventure , but stuck around for the cooking !

Rice lake is definitely not for the weak hearted boater . 10 minutes of good wind and suddenly you got 4 ft seas and it ain't safe anywhere. I grew up there and was the one thing that was driven into my mind . Glad you made it through. Seems this year the weeds are much more prevalent, later in the season they should be down some . Have fun ,play safe !

Cool video. I have been watching since day 1. I boat in Georgian Bay and was hoping to see you somewhere in the bay to say hello however I missed you along the way. Safe travels and glad to see you are handling the boat very well and enjoying your time in Canada.

Thanks for the video. And enjoy your ride. I will ride along with you. Familiar with the area I live in little current, ont .

As usual great information and a great narrative! Always enjoy and look forward to new videos…

We are rewatching your videos! Your trip up the Hudson with the logs!! 😂 Our home marina is Kingston, NY. And we call all the logs on the river "BFLs"! Big Fuc%&@&#&ing Logs!!

I really like the way you include so much more than just showing the boat moving through the water. Your cooking segment is interesting and shows more of what boat life on the Loop can be. Good job fishing.

Not sure where abouts you are now, but route planning will be your friend along with the sailor's tried and true 1st mate which is an anchor. Holding your boat at extended times with engine and thrusters solo with out a GPS positioner is a bit much. You will incur more spots like this even as you cross back over to US waters. Get used to the anchor being your friend. Practice emergancy anchor drops. Practice river anchoring and let the current keep you aligned. Can use rudder to assist on inboards, if its an I/O rhen that rudder technique doesn't work. Some comments here are more criticism than helpful. One of the things you may want to consider during the evenings, is watching Captain Chris's videos. A wealth of info there. Research and youtube your next destination of hazardous and go over your charts well. Stay safe out there.

Really enjoying your videos. 😅

We are north channel boaters and spend our summers in these waters. Glad you are enjoying your stay. In my opinion you threw the wrong fish back. The pike is my fave to eat. Safe travels.

One of your best videos yet! You have so much control and now seem so at ease no matter what happens. Great job. And that yummy dinner you prepared with the fish, veges, mangoes, and blueberries was to die for. Such an attractive presentation and so healthy! We are so very much enjoying your trip videos. Also love that you are showing all the ups and the downs and not just putting out the ups thus making this trip appear easy when it certainly has its challenges. Thanks for sharing this adventure with all of us. Best wishes for a continued wonderful trip!!

Beautiful video. Thanks for taking us along!

absolutely keep at it. Video is great!

Actually you have better control moving the stern into current and wind as the boat steers from the rear, kind of like a Hi Lo. Bow is hard to move into current or wind with engines only. That was a great job at the mountain lodge. plan ahead, and for worse case and then surprise yourself! I wasn't surprised. And you probably know, go slow, worse case you drift into a boat and get fended off. 1991 and 1992 we were up in that area on trailer boats. Launched from Tobermory on the Bruce peninsula. Those rocks are unnerving in the super clear water. My late buddy Greg who got me up there two years called them B.F. R.s lol Big F*^%*ng Rocks. Engaged to my wife on Flowerpot Island in 1992. Not been up since. bit of a ride from Lake Erie now! Flew in a 1957 DeHaviland beaver on floats over that whole area with my Fiancé then and a couple other friends. docked at the Okeechobee Lodge. Was closed up shortly after. Alive and well again, just looked it up! Safe Travels and can't wait to run up there from Lake Erie in the next couple years

I have been enjoying your video's. Appreciate the way you share your successes and learning experiences. It seems that your skill level has increased 10x since you started. I hope you feel that way too. Great job, keep up the wonderful content.

Fresh fish, good food.

We are right here with you. Thanks for letting us ride along. I had the boat for the trip but old age and my health caught up with me.

Another great video! Keep 'em coming!

Ok, I cannot watch these videos before I eat! I almost had to go and buy bass, potatoes and mangos! lol That was an amazing looking dinner! Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing!

Another great video! My husband and I look forward to watching you each week. You are a Jack Of All Trades. What did you do before you retired and took on this journey?

When you get to Lake Michigan, will you be headed down the west shore or the east shore, or a little bit of both?

Livin' the life! What BEAUTIFUL scenery!

Love your videos so much! So glad you're enjoying Canada. Beautiful Pike !!! Love that you released her and caught a perfect Bass for dinner :)

If your worried about the fish,check out how they produce those baby carrots, don't buy them lol

My wife, Kelley & I are enjoying your adventures ~ We are hoping to charter our own course around The Great Loop someday ~ As you head down the South West side of the mitten, give us a shout, we would love to meet you~ We are near South Haven, MI. Until then keep the PMA (The Positive Mental Attitude) Safe travels~ Fish on!

In 1982 a college friend and I drove to Alaska from Jensen Beach, grandparents lived there and said he'd get us jobs. Driving in to Anchorage there's a park with a lake and people were swimming in it. (June) We were wearing hoodies and sweets thinking these people are crazy. The next year friends had my birthday party there and I was one of those crazy people swimming in that lake. Of course, I'd been up there for a year, so the change wasn't quite as sudden for me. That's all they know

NO BANANAS ON A BOAT!!!!!!!!!!! I think that's just for fishermen.

You are a good sport for hopp[ing in that water! Also my wife loves to fish and I am curious as to how you do it in Canada thanks.

Jesus christ man, just wrip those transmissions out. Go easy. Wind blowing left left engine only, compensate with rudder. Keep preasure to the right, rudder says how much.

Garter snake

Don't worry Michael, you are being watched alright! I am following you on Nebo also. See you off Good Hart Michigan. I enjoy your videos, you have no idea. You might have given too much thought and worry to leaving the dock, but you didn't get in trouble through overconfidence. Safe travels.

Good travels 🎉 I like to follow your travels , all the best

Cool snake!

Wow, the scenery is magical. What a wonderful cruising ground. Did you try the Killarney Resort restaurant? I would think you would relish a change from your won cooking once in a while. Agree totally with your reluctance to swim in water frigid Canadian lake water. As a FL/RI snowbird I refuse to swim in water under 70 degrees. I noticed you threw back the huge northern pike -- I know it is a very bony fish but a fishing guide de-boned and cooked northern pike for a group of us when I was a kid and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing, very enjoyable to share your journey.

Hard to put into words how impressed I am - great job!

Glad to see you so much more confident and comfortable in your quest.

I am totally impressed with your work. Boat operations,fishing,filming, and all the above. Keep having fun and always.. Safe travels.

Another fun episode. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Cabbage and bananas ! The breakfast of champions ! 😊

Killarney is one of the nicest boating towns in Ontario and Canada for that matter.

24:03 if it smells like fish. Its old.

We love your videos ! We are from Ontario half way down Lake Huron. been going to the North Channel for 40 years. Lots of history ,the Little island as you turned into the pool belongs to the Evinrude family. Thanks

Very enjoyable to watch your videos. Thank you and stay safe!

Love the realism in your videos...not all cutting and music playing. Great Job!!!!

Come on man, you can do a better catch and release than that. Good video though.

Beautiful spot at the pool. Nice pike and smalley.

I have noticed your video editing and content has been much better, keep up the great work, and love following along with your adventure

Michigander here! We or most don't eat small mouth (brown rocket's) or large mouth!! Some do!! That pike was better eating! Just eat tail meat if you cant fillet the why bone out!!!

Do you need a passport and COVID shots to go threw there???? Is that Canada??
