North Channel 2021 Part Two

[@kikiwak]

Great video! We spent a night in Mill Lake after we retreated from the open water a few years ago coming back from Killarney. It's a decent spot for a short time, not a long time! The wind was so bad for a few days that we decided to retreat all the way back to Killarney. Docks! Bar! Laundry!

[@Jumpshiptravel]

Hey Chris! I agree, Mill Lake is good for a night or two but there are many other spots we would rather be. Any kind of south wind can make leaving Killarney a challenge. I don’t blame you for heading back to Killarney. The lodge does some great drinks!

Looks like another fun trip!

[@Jumpshiptravel]

Always a good time! Only 50ish more days and we are all back on the water!

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Just amazing all the islands and places to explore. I would be in heaven.. except for the winter..lol

[@Jumpshiptravel]

We are very fortunate to have this as our cruising grounds. But yeah, winter sucks lol.

Courtney's mother lives on Middle Island across the channel from Snug lighthouse. We will definitely be spending some time there this summer on Non-essential Travel!!

[@Jumpshiptravel]

Wow, such an awesome place to spend time over the summer. And conveniently close to Gillys! Maybe you will see us cruise by this July.

[@tednoble1548]

What are your plans for 2022? Great videos.

[@Jumpshiptravel]

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying them. For 2022, we are planning on 5 weeks in the North Channel again, 10 days either in the Massasauga or on the Trent Severn. And a bunch of long weekends. Can’t wait for launch!

@@tednoble1548 You're not too far from us. You're headed to the North Channel this summer?

[@tednoble1548]

@@Jumpshiptravel Possibly. Hoping gas prices get a bit better.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Is that all fresh water?

[@Jumpshiptravel]

It is all fresh water! No worry about sharks or whatever else lurks in saltwater.

@@Jumpshiptravel my only concern is barnacle..lol

We were hoping to head down by parry sound from the North Channel this summer but we will have to see how fuel prices go. Cant wait to find out who has the best fish and chips in all of GB and NC! Also out of interest what is the range of your boat? You made a good run between fuel stops.

[@Jumpshiptravel]

Killarney to Parry Sound is a fantastic trip. There are a lot of good anchorages between there. Fuel prices will definitely be on everyone’s minds this coming season if gas does what they are predicting. For all the fish and chip places we have tried so far, don’t miss Gillys. Their Georgian Bay white fish is second to none. Although they are under new ownership this coming season so hopefully it continues to live up to its reputation. Paradiso has roughly 800-1000 mile cruise range. We burn just over 1 gal/hr at 6 knots. Most gas powered boats I’ve had in the past have 150-250 mile range. So midland to Britt in one run shouldn’t be out of the question for a lot of people. I think it’s just shy of 100 miles.
