Wednesday August 2, 2006 Little Current The Storm July 17, 2006 saw us safe at anchor in Byng Inlet with Force 9 winds across our deck. After the storm extensive damage was reported all across the North Channel and Georgian Bay. In Killarney docks were torn out with boats attached. The Killarney Mountain Lodge sustained extensive damage and lost 25 trees off their grounds. We have seen a huge number of trees toppled throughout the North Channel which is not that surprising as they are mostly rooted in moss on top of the rocks. In Little Current boats on land on cradles were toppled. We heard that above Force 12 winds were registered near Clapperton Island (south of the Benjamins). In this location one poor fellow managed to put his "chartered" 39' trawler on the bottom. Apparently he attempted to reset his anchor while the storm was going on, left the hatch open, and broached. Sounds like he lost his deductible deposit.
