Our first stop was Ragged Island, a small picturesque island owned by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust. There was a dock on the south side of the island that could accommodate a few boats, but we had to anchor off-shore to keep a safe depth from the HUGE boulders that could be seen below the clear waters.

We loaded the doggies into our inflatable dinghy and I paddled into shore. My first mate snorkeled in and reported seeing rocks and more rocks, but no fish. Once ashore the doggies ran around, jubilant with the freedom to run around after hours on the boat.

The island was well- kept and had walking paths and a couple out buildings. ( including some aromatic bathrooms). Blue berry bushes lined the shore and several kyakers picked them right from their boats. There were several boats anchored and docked at the island, so it is no secret. We enjoyed a lazy, hot summer afternoon in the shade of our boat and had a lovely afternoon nap followed by an ice cold Heineken. Then off to our dockage for the night.
