Their boat, "The Meram.or," Is noteworthy. It was built in •Sea- lorth a year ago last winter by the Coutts brothers, being the second boat they had built up to that time. Last winter they built a third •ane. The ";Yleramor" ie a Duet Class sloop, 23' 6" long and 7' 6" beam. The sails were purchased in. England, and it is Powered with a six h.p . Vire inboard auxiliary engine. Stops were made at night, at Kincardine, Southampton, Stokes Bay and Tobermory. Crossing Georgian Bay, a night was spent at Club Harbor ,on Club Island. It is an uninhabited island, with :sheltered :anchorage, where small graft frequently stop for the aight or for shelter. The last day's sailing uorthwaed was to Killarney, when the only rough weather of the entire trip , a strong nor'easter, was .encounter- ed. Killarney i8 a small fishing village with no woad connection to the outside world. Returning they stopped the first night at Rattlesnake Island, a small island which is occupied - by commercial fishermen only in the sprung and fall. Contrary to its name, the boys saw no rattle- snakes on this island, but they were wary. They did see Tattle - snakes at Olub Harbor, however. Back again to Tobermory and then to Johnston's Harbor on the Lake -Huron side .of the Bruce Peninsula, when ,they spent a then to Port Elgin day;Elgin, Kincar- dine and Hayfield, The 'Nlerainor," which is con- structed of plywood planking, oak framing and mahogany cab- in, sleeps four, and has a ship's kitchen or galley equipped with gasoline stove. There is also an ice box and supplies of fresh meat were purchased along the way. Four days were foggy, " wheat sailing had to be done by "dead reckoning," compass and charts. Owing to lack "of wind the auxil- iary motor was used for about 100 miles of tete trip, The mound trip to. tate North Shore and back would be up- wards of 500 miles. With the experience gained the Coutts brothers hope to make a more extended trip next summer.
