We left Penetanguishene (Penetang as the locals call it) at 9:00 this morning. We had a wonderful time at the Looper event and the locals and the people at Bay Moorings Marina were the best hosts and hostesses. They took time to help us navigate through this area and told us about “not to miss” highlights along the way. We are all most appreciative and thanks them wholeheartedly.
It was a beautiful, clear Canadian morning and the sun was shining brightly. This is the weather we have been waiting for in this area. Not sure how long it will last, but are certainly enjoying it today.
We arrived at Delasco Island, the beautiful cottage of Charlotte and Bob Snider’s at 10:30.
Bob guided us through the nearby rocks and we pulled up to their massive dock and tied up. Salvage Crew arrived a couple of minutes later and rafted off of us. These are VERY nice accommodations.
They have owned their cottage (about 2.5 hours from Toronto) for seven years and it is fantastic. They are truly the “King and Queen of Delasco Island” and their hats state just that.
They bought the cottage as a shell and have finished the entire place beautifully in the time they have owned it. It is truly a little slice of heaven here on Delasco Island and we feel so fortunate to have been able to come and spend time with them here.
After lunch we got into their 24 foot boat and headed the Honey Harbour. What a beautiful ride and we enjoyed every minute. Andy had forgotten what fun it was to ride in someone else’s boat and that they could go fast.
This home belongs to a local gentleman that owns fast food restaurants and his “go fast” boat is named FAST FOOD. This is his home…
his boathouse…
and his helicopter…very nice.
We went into the town of Honey Harbour as Bob has to meet someone who was buying his old boat. What a great little town.
The girls did a little shopping and went to the library. Charlotte told us about the young man who started this company. He is a college student from the area who came up with the idea to start a company and hire other college students to do whatever odd jobs, deliveries, etc. were needed at the local cottages. He has done very well and even offers to loan you these carts to use while you walk to the LCBO store. Smart kid!
This darling little cottage sits on the back of Delasco Island. Their daughter, Andrea, who is away at University decorated it and lives here when she visits.
I bet she’ll be anxious for these boats to leave as we are blocking her beautiful view. Thank you Bob, Charlotte and Andrea!
