Day One Hundred and Thirty Five - Island Hopping

Dear all,

The mighty Vince was in town for the start of his holidays and we thought we would mark the occasion by taking the boat out for a quick spin and eating a huge amount of food.

We set out to sea, hurtling across the waves towards Darren's favorite spot: A small island in the middle of Georgian Bay, overlooking the Blue Mountains and Collingwood. We let down the anchor and took a few moments to gaze out over the water and listen to the cacophony of bird song on the island. The amount of birds roosting on the island was incredible and the noise was almost deafening.

It was a fabulous evening but despite the clear skies, it was frightfully chilly dans l'eau... but I managed to retain a stiff upper lip and swim all the way from our boat to the island and even managed to do a little dance when I got there.
The problem [of course] with a venture such as this, is that once you have swum one way, you have to swim back and I must say I was a little chilly when I got back on board. Needless to say, Darren smothered me in towels as soon as I popped back on board and soon we were back in the warmth of our condo ready for the next stage of eating. Hurrah!

Here ye a video of the grand event: Crossing Georgian Bay!
