Day #363 – Penetanguishene, ON

Last night Bay Moorings Marina threw a lovely wine and cheese reception for all of the Loopers who had shown up for the Rendezvous.  There were 11 boats here and we had a great time.

Bob and Charlotte joined us aboard Good News and we always have agreat time and a lot of laughs when we are together.  They are great boat guests.

Terry and Sue from Great Britain were here as well and we always enjoy their company.

Fun was had by all and we were appreciative for the hospitality they provided.  Some one decided to thank them in their own unique way.  Hope they still left a tip.

This morning they offered a planning meeting for getting around safely in the Georgian Bay.  The rocks here are not very forgiving.

After the meeting Andy and Bob had their own meeting as Bob has boated here all of his life and is a wealth of local knowledge.

Then they drove us for our necessary errands…West Marine, the grocery store, the hardware store and…

We came back, put it all away and headed out to lunch at a local spot on the water that Bob and Charlotte knew about.  It was called Dock Lunch and they said as many boats as were there this summer, equally as many snowmobiles are there in the winter.

Their specialty is poutine which is french fries with cheese curd and chicken gravy.   Very Canadian, eh?

Bob and Charlotte left and went back to their cottage.  They are expecting many guests, including us, this weekend on their island.  It is a holiday weekend and should be a little crazy on the water.

Tonight Bay Moorings is holding a “Canadian Barbque” for all of us.  Not sure what to expect, hope it isn’t Canada goose.
