Carving up the Pig at the Roast
Due to Bat Infestation, the old hotel will be gone next year
Pierre's Lodge in Echo Bay
We had heard many times over the years from fellow boaters that we should go at least once to partake in the pig roast at "Pierres". We had tried a few times before but it was always full, so this year, it was on our list of things to try. We managed to a get a reservation this trip, the hook in getting your slice of pig, is you have to stay 2 nights. Up until this spring, Pierres was in Scott's Cove but in early April, almost all of the buildings were moved over to Echo Bay. All of the docks are new and there is not much left of the original marina at Echo Bay. There are plans for aggressive growth here with a large lodge and the selling of interests in 2 fourplexes, the owner Jerome told us informally that this will be somewhat like Poets Cove in the Gulf Islands when complete. Some of us will like that and some will not, but it appears, it will be a popular destination for a lot of boaters in the future. That is good for all the operators up here as the more people that get drawn up, the busier everyone else will be. We beleive that there is plenty of "Yachtie Pie" to go around with each establishment having something different to offer.
All of the docks are new, there is ample power and lots of color in the way of fresh flower baskets. The store is well stocked and all that they are missing in our estimation is a Liquor Store.
