In July 1985 I paddled into Norgate Inlet with my father and my young son, Joseph. We camped on crown land and spent three days in the inlet. I felt as if I had been transported to the Georgian Bay of my youth.
Wildlife was everywhere around us. It was quiet and the possibilities of exploring the many islands and connecting channels seemed endless.

My children have now all grown up in the inlet and we all continue be amazed by it.
