Description
The morning at Canine Cove had dawned with very thick September fog. The Parry Sound Archipelago was deep into the warm sector of the autumn storm. I knew that the cold front was to the northwest but without doing an isobaric analysis it was a challenge to tell just how far. Being optimistic and always enjoying an adventure, my friend Cam and I departed in his boat for a tour of the Georgian Bay shoreline to the north.
The fog was so thick that we we lost all landmarks if we ventured across any of the broad expanses of water. A much larger boat came by and it probably had radar. We shuffled into the wake of the Prima Donna boat and followed along. As we putted along northward there was a subtle shift of the wind to the northwest. Within a half hour the visibility was great and we toured a lot of the Georgian Bay landmarks as we had hoped.
This view is looking toward the southeast at the back end of the cold front. Some cumulus convection was evident along the front. If you looked closely you could even find some virga. There might have been a few convective drops that reached the bay but it would have been impossible to tell them from the spray of the boat.
The water levels were high in all of the Great Lakes. Some of the vegetation along the shoreline was submerged. I included the sign posted on the point which encouraged boaters to respect the shoreline and leave only a minimal wake.

Stunning colors, composition, brushstrokes, shapes and light! Wow! Such free and beautiful work, Mr. Chadwick! l/f
Phil Chadwick replied:
Very kind of you Sunny. I tired to convey what I wanted to say with a fewer number of brush strokes. The details of the rocky shore were more suggestions than things actually included in the paint. I keep trying to learn something every day.
