08.08 Byng Inlet

We thought we were about to have an exciting morning, but this squall line de-organized itself into just a bunch of rain, then the mess from Lake Huron went south as we went north.


We sailed up Shawanaga Inlet and took a right at Turning Island. The northern passage gets tight in places, with heavy boat traffic to and from the many cottages. The feel is forested and protected until you suddenly reach the flat, rocky mess of the shore at Pointe Au Baril.

We motored out past the light house (closed like the one at Winfield) into steep waves and 20 knots in the narrow channel between the rocks. It got lighter as we reached down past Hangdog Reefs and took the commercial channel into Byng Inlet.

At almost the end of the inlet we found a secluded anchorage with trains and no cottages.
