South Benjamin's Anchorage to Kagawong, ON
Day #406: Mike and I were up at 6:30 A.M. for breakfast of coffee, cookies and peach/blueberries (that Mike and I picked). At 9:40 A.M. the engines were on. At 9:55 A.M. "Alysana" was casted off and Mike brought up "Parrot Bay's" anchor. There was some mud but no trees. At 10:30 A.M. both boats were off Logan Reef Buoy with seas of 1 to 1 1/2 on the port quarter, not an uncomfortable ride but all were glad that it was only a 2 hour run to Kagawong. At 10:50 A.M. both boats were at the South tip of Clapperton Island. At 12:05 P.M. "Parrot Bay" secure at Kagawong Municipal Marina after traveling 15.1 miles (5,153.6 miles total for the trip). At 12:15 P.M. "Alysana" was secure on the dock. At 12:30 P.M. John, Gina, Mike and I headed out to find lunch, groceries, beer and Bridal Veil Falls. There is only a café in Kagawong as Andrew the dockhand explained that it is difficult for a restaurant to survive here as it is only a 2 months season. Gina, John, Mike and I headed to the Main St. Café where the four of us had a great lunch on paninis, salads and drinks. Gina and John bought Mike and I lunch as a congratulations on crossing our wake in a few days. After lunch the four of us headed to the LCBO, variety store and small grocery store. Mike was able to buy beer. It was then off to the Bridal Falls where John, Gina and I took pictures while Mike went into the falls. The four of us then headed back to the boats for the afternoon. Mike read on the dock while I caught up on the blog. It clouded up with a few episodes of sprinkles. Gina, John, Mike and I sat on the dock between the boats enjoying our last docktails as tomorrow John and Gina will be heading to Gore Bay and Mike and I will be heading to Meldrum Bay. John and Gina will continue to De Tour Village and Mackinaw City while Mike and Patty will be crossing back into Michigan. The four of us went for one last ice cream together.

"Whitetail Deer this sculpture rejects the separation between cultural and natural. It rejects the division between an optimistic future and a tragic past. Instead it revels in the intersection between these forces. It is a zero-sum game between a doe, a buck, a fawn, a Ford F-150 bumper, the emerald ash borer and a propane tank. The work is whitetail deer in headlights."
