The ferry.

We recently journeyed with friends to Manitoulin Island, at the north end of Lake Huron, for a short holiday. There are two public ways to get there – via a bridge at the north end of the island, or via the Chi-Cheemaun car/passenger ferry from Tobermory, at the end of the Bruce Peninsula. the ferry made the most sense for us.

Here is approaches the dock at Tobermory, before our vehicle, along with many others and passengers for the 1 1/2 hour sailing to Manitoulin.

The colourfully painted passenger/car ferry Chi-Cheemaun, with its front brow opening up, approaches the loading dock at Tobermory, Ontario.

A fine day to bask in the sun.

This Snapping Turtle thought so, on one of the first genuinely warm days of the year.

We hang the laundry in all temperatures unless it’s precipitating. Yesterday was sunny with low humidity and even with a -10 temperature, this laundry got mostly dry.
