South Benjamin Island, North Channel













































We have been without Internet for 3 days. I have lots of pictures to post, when we a have quicker connnection. Temporarily I will report that these island in the North Channel are georgeous, and we are enjoying the anchorages. Tomorrow we plan to go to Killinary, and will be in a marina so that we can reconnect with civilization. Maybe do laundry & fill our water tanks. We have plenty of food & libations on board so we have been quite content.
Yesterday we were anchored at "John Island"; so beautiful (pictures above). We swam off the back end of the boat -- it was quite hot -- cooked rosemary chicken on the grill -- put on the generator for AC so we could sleep, but were able to turn it off during the morning. We woke up to rain, which continued through the afternoon, so we stayed put until after lunch. Then 3 - 4 hours to the Benjamin Islands. It started clearing as we anchored. There are several other boats here, as this is a desired spot, and it featured in the boating guides. The islands are made up of granite, many of which are pink; and the islands are quite steep in som e spots. White pines grow out of the granite everywhere (pictures above). It is quite a sight! We cooked marinated flank steak on the grill, along with mashed potatoes & microwave peas.

Pictures to come.
