harpgirl ~ glad you can confirm my opinion of the North Channel. I've been going up there since the very early 70's. Some of my favorite spots are: Long Point Cove, Bassett and Turnbull islands, Clarie Cove, Beardrop, Taschereau Bay, The Benjamin's, Fox, etc., etc.,. I suppose that when you were in Killarney you stopped for a fish dinner at Mr. Perch's school bus on the warf.

My most hair raising moment/s were also crossing Lake Huron. One warm night in July we left Rickett's harbor in the Mississagi Strait at around midnight in order to beat a front that was supposed to pass through the area in about eight hours (according to MAFOR). They missed it by about five hours and we were half way across the lake when we were hit by 80+ mile per hour winds. When we arrived at Presque Isle Harbor the next morning the boats at the marina looked like they were in a spider web with each boat tied in with around a half dozen lines running in every direction. The only time that I ever got off the boat and actually kissed the ground.

Mick, I will check with Sandy on that L.P. as soon as things settle down around here.
