Till we return, Malaysi

My first impressions of Malaysia last year when we were headed up Malacca Straights to Thailand were not heart warming. We saw mass development and the signs of economic progress, the historic towns and of course the beautiful Lankawi but the country…

Georgian Bay: The North Channel

Like “Georgian Bay”, we’ve oversimplified mentions of “The North Channel”.  It is much more than one end of Georgian Bay; rather, the North Channel (NC) is a distinct body of water in its own right, one that happens to connect with the Small Craft Channel on the northeastern shore of Georgian Bay.
