What a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the temperature is perfect. Couldn't have picked a better day for a boat ride. But, First a few photos of Colin and Margaret's log home. The house isn't quite finished because it takes a little longer to build when you are doing it all yourself. Yup, Colin and Margaret built a foundation, stacked the logs, stained, chinked, installed electrical, plumbing, windows, cupboards plus a lot of other things. They've done an amazing job.

Mexi, the dictator. It's hard to imagine this sleepy little dog telling Zaph what to do but she does and he listens.

Zaph waiting somewhat patiently while Colin and Margaret get the boat ready.

Colin and Margaret's home is on a bay that is part of the west arm of Lake Nipissing. That said, you can drive the boat for a long, long time. We went out for a couple of hours and saw some beautiful scenery and some amazing cottages.

When this tree fell over it created an earthen cave.
