I loved living there, but then, I got to fly out a lot during the winters. At least got to climb up into the sunshine.

The marina is at the end of Tonka Bay Rd off Hwy 19. This marina was part of an old Motel that was built in 1886 and demolished in 1913. The marina/seasonal bar is the only part of the old hotel that remains. The only reason the thing is still standing is because the owner is about 85 years old and refuses to change a thing. He has owned this place since 1959.
Here is another shot of the marina looking out to gails island. My wife and I have lived here since 1992, we really enjoy the area year round. I will admit the last two winters have been tough to take.
