12 Mile Bay Anchorage
Day #395: From last evening I beat Mike at cribbage.
Mike and I were up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit, cookies and
maple/bacon butter tarts. At 8:00 A.M. Mike realized that the head (toilet)
wasn’t working so at 8:15 A.M. we started to get all of the tools
ready to fix the head. The boat looked like it blew up as when you are fixing
something on a boat just about everything needs to be moved. The head pump is
under the mattress so that needed to be moved along with cushions to get out
tools. John from “Alysana” popped over one time to see if he could help. Mike
replaced four "duck-bill" valves. Unfortunately he worn some stinky water. By 10:15 A.M.
Mike and I had the head working and sheets changed on the bed and the boat
put back together. Mike jumped into Lake Huron to clean off. The two of us went for a 3 mile dinghy ride. We saw Gina out on her paddleboard. We headed back to the boat to get ready to head to Henry’s Fish Camp for
lunch. At 11:55 A.M. John, Gina, Mike and I took “Alysana’s” dinghy 8 miles
to lunch arriving at 12:20 P.M. We went very quickly and there was lot of wake.
When the four of us arrived “Bella Gatto”, “Nomadic Spirit” and “The Lower Place”
already had seats and had ordered their meals. Mike and I ordered the
pan-fried whitefish, fries, baked beans and coleslaw which was excellent. After
checking out the gift shop the four of us hopped back in the dinghy heading back to
the anchorage. Upon getting back John, Mike and I hopped in the water
enjoying the clean water of Lake Huron. After the swim the four of us then enjoyed
beverages on “Parrot Bay”. At 5:15 P.M. Mike and I used the camp shower on
the back of “Parrot Bay”. After the shower the two of us prepared the boat for
departure and secured the dinghy. At 6:00 P.M. Mike and I headed over to
“Alysana” to watch the movie “Mowgli- Legend of the Jungle” (the movie based on
the Jungle Book). Gina and John served salami, cheese and crackers and Mike
made popcorn; fun was had by all. At 8:15 P.M. Mike and I headed back to
“Parrot Bay” after cleaning up it was time for reading and blogging. Still not
internet so I organizing my pictures and did the write up in Word. The plan
for Saturday is to head to Killbear Marina for two nights.
