The group of islands known as The Bustards are a popular spot for visits by cruising boaters. A number of anchorages within the islands provide great protection from weather and a base camp for exploration. Above, Last Dance is tucked into a corner of a cove.
When at anchor, a boat can swing in a circle, sometimes much larger than a football field. A technique employed to keep an anchored boat in one spot, and to fit the boat into very small coves, is stern tying. The line from the stern of Last Dance to shore can be seen in this photo.
The view from Last Dance to the east. Having a home that moves allows one to select home sites with interesting views, and to change those views when desired. This image also shows how the islands in this small bay provide complete protection from the open waters of Georgian Bay.
The Bustard Islands are a grouping of various-sized islands tightly arranged, leaving small passages between them well suited for exploration by dinghy or kayak. These islands are part of a Canadian provincial park. This is another spot in Georgian Bay that can provide a home for an extended period, providing new experiences every day.
