amo, yes, I'm in the Big George

amonkie · 09-10-2010, 07:50 AM

Are you at Peekabo Point?

BadNick · 09-10-2010, 11:19 AM

I'm right around the corner from Peekaboo Point. Earlier in this round I said something like "no French" around here, but when I hear or see "Beausoleil" for some reason I think I'm in Nawrlins.

uncle phil · 09-10-2010, 11:56 AM

maybe honey harbor?

amonkie · 09-10-2010, 12:43 PM

Howe's corners?

BadNick · 09-10-2010, 07:15 PM

neither of those

If you were coming to visit me, you might drive from Honey Harbour to Howes Corners, but you'd not be here yet.

I said I was "in the Big George" so not near it or next to it.

amonkie · 09-10-2010, 07:35 PM

are you on Present island?

BadNick · 09-10-2010, 08:06 PM

you made a right but you should make a left

amonkie · 09-10-2010, 08:10 PM

you clever clever man.. are you on Beausoleil island? now the Nawlins comment makes sense.

BadNick · 09-10-2010, 08:30 PM

not exactly but Beausoleil is an important clue if you think of it as Beausoleil First Nation

amonkie · 09-10-2010, 08:41 PM

So Little Beausoleil Island?

Spawn is always good, right?

uncle phil · 09-11-2010, 02:40 AM

i'll go with the monkey...

BadNick · 09-11-2010, 03:45 PM

Nope. Head out of your protected little area and more out toward the open Bay. Look for me standing on the shore of this island waving.

amonkie · 09-11-2010, 06:51 PM

North Watcher island? Cause I always knew you were a peeping Nick.

BadNick · 09-11-2010, 07:27 PM

I have been known to peep, but I'm not on North Watcher. You're a bit too far north and look for a much larger island.

uncle phil · 09-12-2010, 04:00 PM

awenda provioncial park?

BadNick · 09-12-2010, 04:12 PM

The island I'm on is not a park. I bet you could find me easier if you had one of those Jesus statues on the dashboard of your boat...he would point the way.

uncle phil · 09-12-2010, 04:17 PM

christian island?

BadNick · 09-12-2010, 04:45 PM

bingo!!! I am on Christian Island. You're up next, unc.

I spent a week there a few years ago with a bunch of my cousins from Canada. We stayed in a strange little cottage owned by the local Indians and we had a great time. We rented a motor boat from the Indian guy who owned the trading post/general store at the ferry dock on the mainland...cool boat with fins looked like a '57 Chevy in the water.

Christian Island is a large island in Georgian Bay close to the communities of Penetanguishene and Midland, Ontario. The island, with its neighbors Hope Island and Beckwith Island, is a 13,413.1 acre Ojibwa reserve, known as Christian Island 30 Indian Reserve. Together with the 18.5 acre Christian Island 30A Indian Reserve located at Cedar Point, Ontario and the 7.7 acre Chippewa Island Indian Reserve located in Twelve Mile Sound, 17.1 mi north of Christian Island, it forms the land base for the Beausoleil First Nation.

One day I took my cousin back to the mainland and headed back to the island in the boat. About half way across the motor suddenly died. I tried everything to get it started and nothing worked. It was getting kinda dusky and windy as I was drifting out of the inlet between the mainland and Christian Island, out toward the open waters of the Georgian Bay. In my head I was starting to hear the song by Gordon Lightfoot about the big lake they call "Gitche Gumee" and was imagining I'd soon be looking at the Edmund Fitzgerald if I didn't get this damn boat started. I decided that if I didn't get it running before I passed the tip of the island, I'd jump and swim to shore before I was too far out to try that. Just then another motorboat approached and I can see it's two local Indian guys. As they come closer they ask me about the boat, apparently they were suspicious that I may have stolen it from their buddy. But I tell them I rented it for the week. Eventually they started laughing at this stupid white man and finally told me to hook up the gas line to the tank cause they could see it was knocked off. After I did that the boat started right up again and only my pride was injured...but thanks to those two guys, whoever you were.

uncle phil · 09-13-2010, 02:52 AM

uncle phil · 09-13-2010, 12:42 PM

i am north of 40 degrees latitude; as for "north of the old 40," you know the answere to that as well as i do...

BadNick · 09-13-2010, 01:05 PM

well I'm more than 50% north of the old 40 myself, so I'm no spring raptor
