Arriving At South Bay

South Bay Dock
Manitolin


South Bay is the Dock were the Ferry Arrives at, The town is very quite and tranquil like a picture post card , Once i got off the Ferry and started my drive up to my Cousin's in Little Currant town it took about an Hours to get there but the drive up was out of this world the Country side was beautiful and very clean .

Driving on the Island was different than on the Main land of Ontario ,to me it felt I was driving through the First Nation Country, as there were Wig whams
and Native shops all over the Island , It makes you think back to the days gone by, like back to the 1800's on how life used to be here then.


Now I have come back to the real world ,there was plenty to see on my drive up to Little Currant ,But i did not stop but took my time as I had to get there as time was ticking for me I also stuck to the speed limit to because it was Worth seeing how nice it all was ,this was the type of roads i had to drive on a long straight roads that go for Miles This is a view of Georgian Bay that I was Driving Through Beautiful Views

Manitoulin Island














Ferry Chi-Cheemaun



I have been living in Ontario , Canada for the Last 15 months , I also have an Aunt Living here ,She has been over here for around 50 years . In that time the last time I seen her was in 1969 were i was only 9 yrs old . So now time has flown by and 39 yrs later I go and Visit My Aunt who Lives On Manitoulin Island.



I was Nervous about the Visit as it been so long , Also I have 2 cousins over in Canada to and i got in touch with Anne Casson My Cousins wife and we had a chat on Face book , I told her i was only 2 Hrs away from the Island By Ferry so she invited me over . There was a little bit of Planing to do Like Hire a car book the Ferry and what and how things will turn out , as it been a very long time .



The Car and ferry got booked and now I was ready to go ,I arrived at the Docks and waited for the Ferry Chi-cheemaun to turn up , It took some time to get in . The wait in the Docks Felt like a very long time as there was nothing to do for me there ,Except wait then I hear a Blast on the Ferry,s Horn and it was time to go on Board and Sail
To Manitulin Island for a few days , I am looking Forwards to see my Aunt as it's been a Long time.
