DONKEYS UPDATES FOR FRIDAY & SATURDAY!

FRI. JUNE 29th:
Left Kill Bear park at 6:45AM headed for
Parry Sound (means huge body of water) - a beautiful
calm morning,  then winds blew up hard in the afternoon
got into P.S. approx 2:00PM.  Had a free night camped at
OPP boat launch area, were very accommodating, good public
washrooms. We were next to the PS Theatre complex and
Bobby Orr Hall of Fame.  Had a big night out on the town
at Don Cherry's restaurant -- (what civilization, eh!!)
Very rough on the open water in PS with heavy boat traffic.
 
SAT. JUNE 30th: 
Next morning, bright & early left at 6:45AM, excellent paddling
morning until the winds picked up at lunch time, paddled 26kms
by then.  Northwest winds behind us 2:00PM arrived at FRYING PAN
ISLAND, was an old settlement of SANS SOUCI, no camping allowed.
Headed to next mariner called HENRY'S, another free night's camp. 
Had another 'pig out' dinner of fresh fish & chips (HUGE portions) 
at Frying Pan Island.
Donkeys all fit and fighting, having a wonderful time!

I think it would be terrific if you could include a map from http://maps.google.com.
You can create a 'My Maps' custom maps, showing exactly your route... Your trip sounds fascinating...
