Latest: Unfortunately the latest weather forecasts for tonight and Sunday with high winds and rain are not going to accommodate our planned picnic at Ministers Island. Disappointing I know! We'll reschedule as soon as feasible or alternatively plan another day event soon.
Stay tuned,
Gary
I was finally able to get the information needed to complete the planning of this proposed tour to Ministers Island near St Andrews.
Due to this now being off season and with the facility now being at reduced staff, we would have to meet one of the coordinators at the gates of the island promptly at 11am or earlier. That would mean we would have to leave Black Restaurant in Harvey an hour earlier the first reported. So we would now leave there at 9am.
Here is the planned itinerary:
- leave for departure from Black Restaurant at 9am and travel via Route 3 and Route 127 to St Andrews.
- arrive at Ministers Island around 1045 to meet up with one of the island coordinators.
- drive around and explore the island on our own till lunch time.
- have our picnic lunch
- tour starts promptly at 1:30 ( it's approx. a 2hr tour)
The tour cost is included in the admission which I verified is $15.00 for adults and $10.00 seniors ( 60yrs)
The weather is still forecast to be beautiful making this an opportune time to visit this wonderful historic property.
Please let us know if you are planning to attend as the tour folks would like to know numbers.
Again thanks,
Gary

Sure wish we could attend, but we have another commitment. Cheers, Larry & Sandi
Gary: We're going to another island Friday for a few days. Long Island (in Nova Scotia) Doesn't look like much top down weather though. :~(

We won't be joining in. Sunday's weather forecast calls for rain, the
road between the mainland and Ministers Island is rough, and we visited there just a month ago!Sorry Gary,

Sorry but Bob and Rita are off to that separatist province to convince some some relatives to migrate to NB
