Club Island to Killarney, ON

Although we woke up early in time to witness this magnificent sunrise, no one was in any hurry to leave! By mid morning, however, we all weighed anchor and headed out towards Killarney. Only about 40 statute miles to the north, with continued favorable weather and 1 foot seas, we all arrived before noon. Although it was a Tuesday, Killarney Channel was bustling. Boats were both heading out and coming in to dock from the east and the west. Everyone looking to dock was on the VHF radio trying to speak with the dockmaster!
We had reservations at The Sportsman Inn & Marina, but we had to wait some time for an
open VHF channel and a chance to announce our arrival. One particular captain (not part of our group) was not so patient. The dockmaster and the dock hands had their hands full during this time, but he had no patience. Rude and demanding radio transmissions followed. I was very impressed at the professionalism of the Sportsman Inn crew for handling the situation. I hope you read this blog, owner of the red American Tug. You know who you are. There was no need for that!

Well, we finally got our dock assignments, got ourselves tied up, and then - well you guessed it. It was again time for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
