Thomas Bay to Tobermory Monarch Butterflies We made our way using a reduced genoa sail as we travelled in a brisk wind that averaged 15 to 24 knots and waves that rose from 1 to 2 metres throughout the day. We arrived in Club Island after a "bit of a bruiser" 27 mile journey. We made sure to keep ourselves tethered to the boat by our life-jacket harnesses in the bouncy sailing conditions. We awoke to calm conditions and motored onward to Tobermory. Between Club Island and Bear's Rump Island we were witness to a Monarch butterfly migration as at least 30 passed over us. We would see one every few minutes all going east to west but travelling separately.
