Gore Bay Canada

We had a beautiful pleasure sail today. There was no wind in the marina when we left the dock so launching was easy. The sky was sunny and blue with a nice cool breeze over the beam and later broad reach. It was cool enough to need a fleece to be comfortable but I'll take that any day over the sweltering heat back home.

There is a brewery near the marina called Split Rail Brewery where we stopped for a snack and beer after arriving. The beers were on the lighter side. IPA was like a European pils, not super bitter, and the stout was like a porter. Though not real strong the flavors were good. The lightness make them good summer beers. Their ales were good and flavorful though. 

The Purvis fishing boat that catches the char, whitefish and pickerel sold at their restaurant.

We ate dinner at a restaurant next to the marina called Purvis Fish and Chips. It is a restaurant for a local fisherman so all the fish was fresh. I had a Char sandwich was very good. I'd never had char before and really liked it. That also had whitefish and pickerel. The had cans of Manitoulin beer. I had Swing Bridge Blond Ale that was much better, that is more bitter, than I expect from a Blond Ale. It was more like a European pilsner. A blond ale that is good is not usually something you'd hear from me.
