Saturday: Wake up and break camp at Killbear. Drive to Gilly's Snug Harbour pay for parking, pack the kayak's and get under way. The paddle will be around 5 to 7 km to our destination on Franklin Island. once there set up camp and recline and crack a cold one..... If that's what you want to do. Enjoy some star gazing late into the night or early morning.

This is a beginner level trip, but don't for get this is on Georgian bay. Its a large body of water that can be like glass or like a tidal washing machine. I will be watching the weather like a hawk into the days leading up to the meet up.
logistics:
Camping at Killbear Provincial Park. $52.24 per site per night. Split between 6 on the site is $8.71 per person.
carpooling fuel costs be fair.
