Wow the ice is gone on Fairy Lake

Not is 24 years I have every seen the ice gone off Fairy Lake this early. We were ice free at 4:10Pm March 29Th. Last night the temperature dropped to minus 6 and some thin ice formed in the bays. Huntsville Marine will have the opportunity to do some water testing for customers on Saturday...unbelievable! We will have a boat in the water today which is another record. I know at least one family is planning to waterski on Easter weekend. the ice normally leaves the lake around April 20th to the 27 and I have seen ice still here in the first week of May. The phone is ringing off the hood with the great weather coming this weekend...hope it lasts.

I think with this weather we will have a special for the weekend and I will put this on the web site. There is such a shortage of inventory for the summer...I have not seen it like this since 1987. Right now ordered boats are not here till June and that's a maybe.

Jaclyn is coming home for the weekend and we will be closed on Friday, Sunday and Monday.

Couple of big meetings coming up this week and early next for potential new boat line and some other great prodcuts exclusive for a large chunk of Ontario and it is a number one boat line! Working on some other nice stuff for the marina too. Can't spill the beans till its official.

Appears to be some dock damage to cottages on the south shore of Fairy Lake from the wind blown ice last week. when we have had a better look I will let you know.

Day One We Get Started

Hello and welcome. This will be my first shot at blogging and should be interesting and entertaining at least for me. For those who look at us working in the marine business it is not anything what you think it is. This will give us and anyone else who is interest a chance to talk and perhaps exchange some ideas and events. As we go on, we will see if we can perhaps share some information of interest and the odd giggle. This is going to take a week or so to get me completely up, running and get some flow to the blog. My schedule will not let me do this daily but I will try and write as often as I can. I am sure this blog will change over time...we will see over the next month or so. I also have some strong polically opinions that maybe will enter into this....G8 anyone? The boating season starts here in one month...we have a tremendous amount of work to do to get some 500 plus boats ready to go. Spring is a very tough demanding time here at the marina. Anyone been to Tofino in BC? I think I want to go there. My daughter was in Victoria at school for a year and I got to visit her there. Very very nice. I liked the rugged shorelaine and the towering trees.
