The second day in Tobermory has been mildly frustrating. Brilliant sunshine belied the strong, cold Westerly winds. Net result - no sailings to the dive sites today. Instead, determined to dive, we took one of the few shore options open - a site called The Tugs, just at the edge of Little Tub harbour. About 4 or 5 old working vessels have been abandoned here. They are about a century old in most cases, exhibiting wooden construction and early steam boilers. 
The good news is that they lie in about 30 feet of water or less, making them readily accessible and the water just a shade warmer.
We also visited the Parks Canada Visitor Centre this morning. They have a great gallery featuring the treasures of the Bruce Peninsula, which includes a good section on diving and the shipwreck history of the region; recommended highly to anyone coming up this way.
