The final night of Haweater's weekend!





Ok, Haweaters is...... from the fruit of the Hawthorne bush, which has berries on it and the locals of the area make jams and jellies from it and generally enjoy the fruit from the berries.  Haweater's Weekend celebrates the "coming back" to Manitoulin Island for all the people that have moved to other places.  This is essentially a big family reunion for them. 

Tonight we had a beautiful night and before the sunset we tried to get food at the local restaurants and one place was out of food and the other had a waiting line...........so we walked down the street and found a vendor on a cart selling Jamaican jerk chicken and rice so we brought it back to Grey Hound and had a great meal just before sunset......PERFECT!

Next, the boat parade and the fireworks right across the cut from us so we had the best seat in the house.....another very nice night was had!!
