Thursday morning we arrived in Midland where we stayed at a wonderful full service marina called BayPort. After docking, we called our Florida and Shores neighbors, Alex and Bobbie Jarlette who reside in Midland in a lovely home, right on Georgian Bay. Thus began two busy day of visiting and sightseeing.
The Jarlettes took us on a tour of Midland before having lunch. In the afternoon, Alex took me to the grocery store while Ned waited for a man who was to do some minor boat repairs for us. That evening, we had cocktails at the Jarlettes and were joined by good friends, Jack and Janice Swick who were on the 2005 Bahamas trip on Alex and Bobbie’s boat . We then enjoyed dinner together at a Greek restaurant. The pickerel was delicious!
Friday we did more sight seeing. It was a treat to be off the boat and to ride in a car with the Jarlettes to see the countryside. We especially enjoyed seeing some of the residential/nursing homes that the Jarlettes own, including one under construction. They are wonderful facilities with charming senior residents and warm and friendly staff.
Dinner Friday evening everyone was at the Swicks lovely home which is also right on the Bay and like the Jarlettes, has an unbelievable view of town across the bay. Janice had a wonderful meal with huge steaks that Jack cooked. His martinis where also outstanding.
It was a wonderful two days but it is time to move on. We thank our friends for their hospitality. I must add to our Florida boating friends that seeing and cruising Georgian Bay.
