On Thursday, July 19, we left Browning Cove on Heywood Island and headed toward Baie Fine (pronounced Bay Fin). The approach here is interesting in that there is an unnamed rock to the right of the entrance with a lovely house on it. There is nothing else on this island/rock... just this house. I was reminded of Paul who was to build the foundation of the church on rock! Call me crazy!
Just as we entered the small channel, to our right is Frazier Point. Frazier Point is where Okeechobee Lodge is located. Once a favorite stop-over for cruisers, it is now privately owned. There is a series of cottages as well as a dock and what looks to be a restaurant and a swimming pool. I would imagine back in the day it was quite the place to be. From this vantage point you are surrounded by Killarney Ridge and Blue Ridge. The formations are beautiful!
As we wound our way back the eight miles to the pool, there were several interesting things to view. A rock/island with a cute house connected to a smaller rock/island by a suspension bridge. I took pictures and will attach them. Hopefully you will be able to see the bridge.
We went back to an area called the Pool. Getting there was a bit dicey as the entrance to that finger off of Baie Fine was narrow and shallow! Two things boaters hate. There are a couple of cottages there but that's about it. The story goes that Mr. Evanrude (of boat engine fame) liked this area so much he built a cottage there.
As we came back into the bigger channel, we looked for a place to anchor. We did find a place but ended up moving from that place to Mary Ann Cove. A lovely anchorage. Ed and JoAnne you would love this. We backed in, set the anchor and then went ashore and tied the stern to a tree! Check out the pictures.
Today, Friday, we will continue our trip East. Not sure what the captain has in mind but no doubt it will be lovely.
Love and Blessings,
Margo and Skip
