Since they say a picture's worth a thousand words, here's a series of pics of the portage from a couple past trips.
Take out on Duncan Bay, rocky and steep. We had been paddling into 20+ mph winds from the Narrows, hence the expression.

A climb off the shore of Duncan. And then it flattens for a bit after that.
