That was Lesleigh's comment when Brian took her for a 'spin' in his PA-11 Piper Cub floatplane. With perfect early morning conditions for flying, who could resist?
She was enchanted by the fact that this plane is hand-started -- Brian balances on the float, throws the prop to engage the engine, then clambers in and buckles up. With earphones on so he could act as tour-guide, they circled the Bay to warm up the engine before flight.
The sharp line along the base of the shoreline trees is how high the deer can reach when standing on the ice in winter. The lake itself was mirror still.
Looking at Muskoka from the air is a lifetime experience. There is an excellent company based in Parry Sound, Georgian Bay Airways, that many of our guests enjoy. It's a great day's outing from Bondi Village, with a picturesque drive, lots of opportunities on the way to explore restaurants and antique and craft stores, and the chance to see some really different terrain. Georgian Bay is windswept with lots of open rock. This side of the great divide the shorelines are softer, with trees to the very water's edge and sand beaches. The difference is remarkable.
The experience is, as Lesleigh described it, "one of a lifetime."
