Another beautiful blue sunny sky greeted us and we set off after breakfast for an anchorage at Indian Harbour - about 14 miles from Beausoleil Bay. After wending our way out of the Bay through a narrow channel guarded by underwater rock shoulders here and there, we rounded the southern tip of Beausoleil Island and headed up into the archipelago up through the Muskoka Landing Channel to the Monument Channel. At that point, the way to the harbor protected on all four sides was a narrow one through unforgiving granite on both sides.

We made it to the calmness of Indian Harbour, where only two other boats were anchored and chose a spot off the channel and set anchor. The anchor miraculously held very firmly on the first try and we let out enough rode to keep us anchored but not too much to have us dashed on the rocks in the middle of the night. The afternoon was one of reading and relaxing in the peaceful harbor. Later on in the afternoon, we took out the dinghy and explored some of the inlets and islets in and around the islands that surrounded and protected the harbor. Only one of the islands had cottages on it - accessible only by boat.

The harbor had relatively few flies during the day, and mosquitos made an appearance at dusk - a population that diminished as it got darker permitting us to sit out and enjoy the quiet evening outside on the aft cockpit. Only light southeast and southern winds that evening kept the boat swaying in a fairly circumscribed arc of the anchor rode - so we slept soundly.
