Wasaga Beach claims to be the longest unguarded beach in the world. No lifeguards. Isn't that something? It was said that at one time, maybe still today (although the sign we read didn't say that) it was classified as the longest beach on a freshwater body. That's a great claim.
It was Krsnadasa, my dear Godbrother, and Billy and I who dipped into these waters at Georgian Bay. Last year at this time, I was in Ukraine, and as a treat took ten minutes to, literally, test the waters with some colleagues. The jellyfish were in abundance. Frankly they were intimidating—very—but here in the fresh water at Wasaga—no sweat.
Now we did not come north to this town just for sense gratification. It had been a long day of travel and bhakti business talks and the submerge was a reward. Both in Wasaga and later, in Innisfil, which is situated in the Holland Marsh area, Billy and I made important connections with yoga teachers and others, in planning to insert some glory into the dark era of Kali. Yes, we've got plans.
By the way, Innisfil is located at the southern edge of another fair-sized body of water, Lake Simcoe. As I remarked to Billy, who hails from the States, "Well, what do you think? All this power of water in all directions, including Lake Ontario to the south. No shortage of H2O. I hope we can keep it that way.”
As Billy and I drove back to the city, I expressed my satisfaction with our day trip. Though I got no walking in whatsoever, we did have a dip, and did have a chip (or two) to keep our bodies stimulated. We are anticipating a day for the Goddess, Radha. It was her birthday.
