Weathering the Storms
Lighthouses have been the beacons in storms for many sailors and boaters over the years. They endure all kinds of assaults from the harsh weather which make them extremely vulnerable to falling apart. This lighthouse has already replaced the original one built at this site on Georgian Bay and has been repaired since then, too. It is a popular place for scuba divers in the summer because of all the shipwrecks in the harbour. In our sailing days, we would watch the weather very closely and wait an extra day or two before making the 12 hour sail up to the North Channel. Then we usually left with a convey of other boats who all wanted to take advantage of the good weather when it did come. It was neat to revisit this spot this week and see it in winter.
