Georgian Bay is all about breathtaking scenery, magical hideaways, and incredible sunsets! Check out my short video – starting with drone footage from the 30,000 Islands – of our 2024 explorations on the Bay and see how many places you recognize, or even better – perhaps you will spot your boat!

Part of the beauty of the Bay is finding those hidden treasures and quiet anchorages – spots you will never want to share the location of! – and I’ve included a few of mine in this video. Be sure to have your sound on for my introduction as I give you the location of the first stop.

And if you’re starting to think about your 2025 cruising itinerary, be sure to check back in a few weeks for my upcoming story on our top 5 anchorages of 2024 and the must see dinghy day trips from each location!

By paddle, sail, or motor – there are endless places to explore on the Bay, where is 2025 going to take you?

Cruising the Bruce Peninsula Part 1: Tobermory to Wingfield Basin

The Bruce Peninsula, part of the Niagara Escarpment and located in the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, divides Georgian Bay from Lake Huron and is both an amazing yet challenging area for boaters to explore.

Last summer we took our time cruising from Tobermory to Owen Sound, touring the rugged shoreline up close, and what an experience it was! In this “Part 1” I cover our travels along the north shore, with stops at Tobermory and Wingfield Basin, including short videos of the escarpment cliffs and basin entrance.
