Good morning from Huntsville Marine. Saturday is starting off with some light rain which is the real first rain we have had here in weeks. We really do need the rain as the dust level here at the marina is as bad as I have seen it. On a not so positive note the first black flies have arrived...no real mosquitoes yet. The flies are very early maybe this will be better and they will be through their cycle early. If it stays dry they should be basically over by the long weekend.

Immediately to the left is the new Huntsville Marine hat. The logo is on the back. Notice the specially designed nose protection so that we do not have to put that silly looking white cream on our noses and the edges of our ears to protect them form the sun. This is actually a 100 year old football helmet from the NFL Hall of Fame.

This week at the marina we completed and graded the parking area "C". We look forward to starting the refacing of the gas pump docks this week and should have this completed by the long weekend. We have now officially opened the gas pumps for the season as well. Waterfront staff is in place for the season. My son Shayne will be with us for the month of May until he starts his new career in the USA.

The winner this week of the longest new boat delivery is a Triumph 150CC to the Peterborough area. We also have our first new 195 Stingray going to 10 Mile Bay on Lake of Bays.
