Day 71 Little Current to Gore Bay via Kagawong Sunday July 29, 2018

The day dawned bright but with a little breeze. The wind of yesterday was gone and made for a nice bay. A very pleasant day and I am still in shorts.  Temperatures in the low 70s

We made plans to travel to Gore Bay with Eagle One and crew. We all wanted to stop at Kagawong to hike to Bridal Falls and see the Anglican Church that has a prow of a boat for a pulpit. To fit in the stop and still have time at Gore Bay, we slipped the lines at 0700. The day was bright, blue and calm. A wonderful ride to Kagawong had us arriving at just after nine - I remember looking up the start of the church service and it was 9:00 - and I recall we just missed the start of the service.

Andrew was the dock hand on duty today. He is a very nice young fellow - a fourth year law student. He advised over the radio the we could tie up on the outside of the town piers. The inside was where the marina slips had been configured. As it was flat calm it was fine.

The village is about as long as a good golf shot. The church is right at the town docks. As church was in service we hiked to the Bridal Falls first. It turned out to be worth the stop and the hike.

Here we are at the town docks. Notice the blue sky and the calm seas.

 This lighthouse is in the center of the village and still operates.

 Do you think this person in a local?

 The church

 Notice the door on the second floor

 The Bridal falls

 Rick and his malfunctioning camera.

 Ron and Faye, left Rick and Kris left with Kay in middle. We were attempting to get us and the falls in the picture. I guess one out of two is not bad.

 Notice the folks behind the falls.

 The church is right on the waterfront.

 Faye is checking out the Hymnal

The church is quite small to match the community.

 Here is a close up of the bow pulpit - boaters will get the pun - and sorry I couldn't resist.

I had seen photos of the boat pulpit but thought it had been constructed as part of the church.
No that is not the case. It is actually the bow of a pleasure vessel that went down in 1965 with the loss of two adults and two children. Here is the tragic story

After our very wonderful stop in Kagawong. We headed to Gore Bay.

I will add some photos tomorrow as Faye and I will walk around town, But Rick and I found the local museum. It was fun to see several stuffed eagles. Here Rick, commander of Eagle One , is standing with the stuffed eagles. Rick is on the right if you were wondering.

We had a great time at dinner at the Buoyed Restaurant  Local minstrel and school teacher, Peter, did a great job playing during dinner - we had great fun with him. But it was nearly night when we left. So it is now my bedtime. So I will say........

Good Night and May God Bless
