| We left Parry Sound at 10:00 and made our way to Hopewell Bay. It was a short run and we were anchored by 2:00. It was cloudy and a little dreary. Bill suggested a ride in the dingy to the Ojibway Club. |
The Ojibway is a large wooden hotel built in 1906 as a summer resort for affluent tourists. it has since been turned into a club and is maintained by its members. Membership is $5000.00 a year for a family and seems to be doing very well as witnessed by all the kids playing in the water and participating in water activities.
Debbie, Bill and I toured the hotel and looked at the many exhibits on display showing the way things were back in earlier years. They have scheduled events every week from Yoga classes to gourmet dinners and they seem to be well attended. There is a gift shop and a grocery store that was surprisingly well stocked and we left with two bags full of discounted groceries as they are preparing for the end of the season. Many items were 50% off
