Light winds again, but we tried sailing towards Little Current, 45° 58.84N, 81° 55.04W. The winds died however and we resorted to motoring. Little Current is named for the currents that flow through the channel – up to 4 knots, but they’re not like proper English tides that are predictable – rather they sometimes change direction several times a day and sometimes not at all. I asked a few locals but could not find out why. I’m guessing they’re dominated by the winds, but am continuing research … Little Current is a nice little town and the swing bridge provides the only access to the large island of Manatoulin. Surprisingly, provisioning here was cheap – Teresa got some nice steaks and pork chops which were cheaper than chicken!Today’s log: 10.5nm, season total: 414.4
