En route to Killarney, we paddled past Phillip Edward Island - one of the larger islands in the region. The vistas in the area were spectacular because the LaCloche Mountain Range appeared in the background. This chain of hills is over 2 billion years old and is composed of pearl-colored quartzite.
The day was relatively calm however, the winds started to pick up in the afternoon. As we rounded the last stretch into Killarney, the winds picked up even more and we were caught in the midst of confused seas. We were tossed around a bit by the reflection waves reverberating off the shoreline. Normally, Jon and I would head into a safe cove or the lee of an island but Killarney's famous fish and chip stand was calling us. My parents and our dog Tess came to share the well deserved feast with us. For now, it's back to Wiarton to complete our final leg of Georgian Bay.
