Day 97 The Benjamin's

Hung around Little Current in the morning doing this and that. Finally not raining - it was not totally clear when we left, but the sun was trying to peak out and it wasn't freezing. We'll take it. Headed out to anchor again for a few days before we return to the USA at Drummond Island, Michigan. Our stop today is The Benjamin's, which are ancient molten formations created billions of years ago before the earth had an atmosphere. The rock is smooth pink granite and a favorite destination to visit by locals and travelers like us for good reason. It's unique, magnificent, awe-inspiring, ummm....obviously, I am having trouble relating how impressive this place is and the pictures don't do it justice. We dinked to a couple spots in the basin and just drank in the magnitude of this place - laid on the rocks loving the silence and soLitude. To think that it is only available for a few months a year and only by people who can boat here. We are truly privileged to have seen and explored the Benjamin's. Do I want to make a home here? No, but for a day? Absolutely. We climbed over this one mound and gazed out at the North Channel. The boulder formations looked like they could come to life. Maybe I've seen too many Marvel movies, but the rocks had personality. As the day progressed, it warmed up to the high 70's. Glorious. With the approach of evening, we watched an otter rushing in and out of the water catching his dinner then devouring it up on the rocks. Better than the Discovery Channel.
