Rocky Road

Pictures from the Small Craft Route down the east shore of Georgian Bay.  Beautiful, but difficult traveling by boat.  For well over 100 miles, we saw water and rocks. Lots of rocks.  Lots of lots of rocks. Some water too, sometimes not enough.

Rocks. Shoals. Almost- or actually-submerged rocks.

Red to port, green to starboard here.
Barely passable inside the buoys, and not often very deep.
Outside the buoys, you WILL hit a rock.

See the obvious rock.  See the not-so-obvious shoal?

Well marked rock, with daymark indicating which side is safe to pass on.

Missing Lake Superior, where shallow water is 100 feet deep.
