The red line shows the cruise of the Great Blue Heron. The cruise begins in Little Tub Harbor, then into Big Tub Harbor to view two shipwrecks in the shallow water at the end of the harbor. After the wrecks we head up past Doctor Island to cruise along the south and west sides of Russel Island where we go over many shoals typical of the Lake Huron side of the Bruce Peninsula. We then head north, cut across the Devil Island Channel and to a small Island that is a nesting site for the Double Crested Cormorants. We then head into the prettiest part of the trip, the southwest corner of Cove Island. Recently in this area we have been sighting Bald Eagles on a fairly regular basis. Now we continue along the south shore of Cove, through the Otter Island Channel and east to Flowerpot Island where we cruise right by the Flowerpot rock formations, and then back to Tobermory. Cruise time is two hours. Because we operate in the exposed waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay it is not unusual for the Captain to make alterations in the cruise to avoid sections of rough water on windy days.
