I would love to plan a trip and do it. Before I was born my pops ran a week up there in a checkmate style boat. This was back in the early 70s. I remember him talking about visiting Bob Caygon. He said being up there was the first time he had buffelo wings... I would like to hit that area in 5 years when the kids get older.

My folks have done several sections several times. After seeing the pics, I'm not sure why I'm not up there in the summer.?

Come and do one of the Performance Boat club of Canada poker runs and spend a week before or after. Trent Severn is nice scenery for sure but not realy the place for large offshores, unless you like to idle lots. That being said if you came and did the Orilia run then took the trent severn system out to Georgian bay , that can be done in one day.you pass through three locks plus the marine railway at Big Chute, pretty cool. Once into Georgian Bay you have many options on where to go and what type of water you want to run in.

I haven't been in the lower part of Georgian Bay but have spent many days boating and diving around Tobermory at the upper end. What a beautiful area!

Padraig, we go to Tobermory at least once a season as it is as you say a great area. From there Killarney is a short hop also a nice area. Tobermory is about a 105 mile trip for us, 25 miles to Christian island, then 60 miles across the bay to Cabot head and then another 20 or so miles along the north shore. Would be nice to meet you up that way next summer.

Jeff 32 we will look for your sonic next summer, we used to spend time with a couple of other guys who used to bring there boats to Penetang from Quebec every year. It was a lot of fun. If you change your mind and trailer to Midland or Penetang I have lots of room at my place to store your trailer and the ramp at Penetang is very good and only 2 minutes from my place.
