The aerial view is of harbor Penetanguishene and port of Midland in the far distance
. We arrived Penetang Wednesday morning and topped the fuel tank off again. It only took about 100 gallon but got it for $3.00 U.S.. July 1 is Canada's 4th of July so we saw a nice fireworks show from the dock. The red and white 100ft boat is an old Canadian Coast Guard boat that is now a personal residence.

Thursday morning we moved from Penetanguishene to Midland (about 10 miles). They have a nice bike path and we rode our bikes from our marina on the west end of Midland to Victoria Harbor. As we were riding out of Midland, we saw this freighter coming into port. When we got back from Victoria Harbor, it was unloading grain at the ADM plant in Midland. We stopped and talked to the Security Guard at ADM. He said there were 15,000 tons of grain and it would take about 48 hours to offload the grain from the ship.
We met John Darien and his family, Valerie, Allison and Aden. John is the Canadian that got us the Canadian aircard which Deb uses to conduct her business from Canada. They have a cottage about 1-1/2 miles from the marina in Midland. John and the kids picked us up at the marina in their Boston Whaler and we went to dinner in their boat. Valerie met us there. After dinner, we came back to our boat and visited for about an hour. It was a very nice evening.
