After seeing Fish Point we ate our lunch overlooking South Bay where there was a little beach:
We continued our ride east along South Shore Road then up the east coast of the island along East Shore Road. We noticed many homes for sale all over the island. We passed two small beaches, East Park and Sunrise, and headed up to Parson`s Road en route to the airport. We passed a vineyard where the grapes were tiny, smaller than mothballs:
Mark bought an enormous package of velvet-skinned red Concord grapes for only five dollars from an unstaffed curbside stand. We heard an airplane take off and knew we were very close. What I noticed on Pelee Island reminded me a lot of Tristan da Cunha.

Grimy phone booth at the west dock. Note the state of the phone book:
Another sign showing two Canadian superlatives. This is by the west dock:
On the walk to the lighthouse in the northeast by Lake Henry Marsh:
We passed by what I nicknamed the Coronavirus Tree:
Pelee Lighthouse from the northern tip of the island:
Look at how high the water is at Scudder marina:
