On the road for a boating adventure
 

We're finally going to have three nice sunny days in a row so the wife, dog and I will haul our Legend down to the Bras d'Or Lakes in beautiful Cape Breton for a few days.
I've always wanted to explore a half dozen islands in the Marble Mountain area.
Can someone step up and control Snottie's craziness and FlaJIm's legendary humour while I'm gone?

Well, made it back in one piece in spite of Snottie's 'curse'.
I did have to bump & rattle the boat & trailer over some of the worse back roads I've seen in quite a while and when I returned yesterday...no internet access..so this has me thinking..
Is our Little Snottie a witch in addition to being a bitch?

BTW.. service provider says the problem was in programming and fixed at their end. They cancelled the tech appointment I was expecting this afternoon.

So how was boating on the Bras d'Or Lakes? I've always wanted to go
there but it's a long haul for us, even if starting in the North
Eastern US.

Gorgeous..we launched at marble mountain in the West Bay section of the Bras d'Or lakes.
Water was very smooth at 1100 hrs so we hightailed it south west to the Crammond Islands, which are a popular overnight anchoring spot for cruising sailors.
there is a narrow channel between the two islands that's a bit tricky to navigate. Looked down at one point and saw the bottom staring back at me with a reading between 3 and 4 feet on the Hummingbird.
Got about 3/4ths of the way through when we spotted a fiberglass bow rider type boat beached on a sand spit. Asked the young guy if we could go any further and he said yes, but it was tricky. My Garmin Blue Charts America showed the way but in rough detail compared to the detail showed around Halifax.

My Garmin Blue Charts America showed the way but in rough detail compared to the detail showed around Halifax.
We decided to re-trace our steps out and head back up to the half dozen other islands off Marble Mountain and then turned off the engine and drifted while having a light lunch.
By 1300 hrs wind had picked up a bit out in the open lake so we just scooted back and forth in the more sheltered area. Tossed the dog in a couple times to cool off. Nice area with a nice launch for boats not too much larger than mine, unless you're pretty good at backing up.
Roads leading to the place need to be completely re-built.
Place was quite busy until 1st WW with 1000 men working at marble quarry.
Now about 75 people live there and some say that is an exaggerated number.
From lookout above beac and water are very attractive due to all the white marble chips left from the old operation.
