Meanwhile in Africa another butterfly flaps its wings.  We were too far from land to let it go.

No problem, about an hour later after docking we let it go.

The main lodge.  The grounds were just beautiful with multiple gardens all around.

Really convenient liquor store and fish/chips restaurant next door.  We took the dinghy there to reload on wine and beer.  Then later we returned by dinghy to pick up our order of fish and chips.

I took a walk in town and met Pierre Sabourin, a local artist.  I loved his painting “Facing the Door.”  Bought a copy of it.  He told me all about the circumstances leading up to this picture.  Very inspirational.  He also gave me good advice for cool anchorages.  
Harp
After dinner we went up to the Lodge for their local entertainment.  This very talented musician was playing on a harp guitar (new to me, didn’t know they existed).  Very enjoyable evening.

  2. I’ve seen the harp guitar before. It’s very very cool! I’m trying to think of where I saw it …….and I’ll get back to you on that. Great pictures.
    Good bye to Georgian Bay!
