June 10, 2014 - Penetanguishene, Ontario

Ten months after our accident with the Marco Polo II in the Georgian Bay of Canada, we were driven back to Ontario by our good friends Ray and Bertha Bruinius. After loading up Ray's van with more clothing, food stuffs, etc., we set off for a pleasant drive. Crossing the bridge at Port Huron to Sarnia, we went through Customs and entered Canada. Rather than staying on the busy highway to Toronto and then north to Barrie, we elected to take the back roads - no stress and very interesting. Around 6:00 p.m. we arrived at Victoria Harbour where Ray and Bertha were booked at a B&B. We had stayed at the same place a few weeks earlier and were quite impressed with the home, the hosts and the breakfast they served. After Ray and Bertha dropped off their bags, we went to a nearby restaurant for our evening dinner. The special for the night was barbecued beef sandwiches with fried potatoes and it was great! We next continued to Bay Moorings, a marina in the nearby town of Penetanguishene where Marco Polo II had spent the winter. After unloading the van, Ray and Bertha returned to Victoria Harbour and we did the unpacking.
