Today I thought I would add an early season of our Pro Fishing team Ivan and Stu in a Pickeral tournament on Saginaw Bay. As you can tell they are not in the Huntsville Marine new Crestliner 202 Tournament boat. They are using Stu's Triton which is unfortunately too small for the fishing conditions at this tournament. the team had to stay close to shore and fish in the river as the wave conditions were brutal. Still managed to place in the top 15. New boat is here for the next event on the weekend of the 22nd.
Today at the marina winter has returned for one more stint of cold damp weather. At my house last night we had 1/2 inch of pea sized hail and very high winds especially around 6:00am. I checked my gardens at home this morning before heading in as I had planted a number of annuals. They were okay but the flowers did take a bit of a hit. Tonight Huntsville may have a low as bad as -7 and snow! Those of you who have sterndrives in this area should take precautions to protect them unless they are in the water where most likely they will be okay. The weather this week in general has been more spring normal for Huntsville. Lots of storage boats this week as we approach the May long weekend. Lots of sales inquiries for new boats especially Stingay, Four Winns and Crestliner.
How about those Steelers. The gang that could not shoot straight managed to stay out the news for the most part and were very glad to see LT formerly of the Giants take center stage. Big Ben #7 has made the cover of Sport's Illustrated and not for sports excellence. I have not seen it yet...I am sure there will be lots of dirt thrown....apparently lots of good material to use. Blue Jays rule once again...break up the team...leading in homers and last in singles on the Cito farwell tour.
As I mentioned before ordered new boats are out as long as July right now!
We managed to finish section "C" this week including planting some Emerald Cedars. Quite a different look for us and a great improvement on parking.
Those who have not booked our their boats and are looking for it for the long weekend are about to not get it as we are essentially close to fully booked.
this weeks G8 update brought to you by the CBC. They like calling me...they like talking to characters...their words. Is this a good thing for me? We have mixed information on road access to the marina during the G8. Fairy Lake is boatable but Highway 60 access is restricted. They are discussing limited two lane access to our area on 60 coming from the west and heading east. You will not get to Deerhurst and most likely not on Canal road. The Great Wall of Harper continues to rise over the landscape of Huntsville.....very....very...ugly! No reported U Boat submarine sightings on Fairy Lake this week but we do have a unconfirmed sighting of Air Force Two in Gravenhurst. Green helicopters all over Deerhurst yesterday afternoon and although I did not see it an F18. Can't wait....till its over. By the way...the G8 was not going to cost the Town of Huntsville anything....we are now at 10 Million and counting...more property taxes anyone. Why do they always say it not going to cost the taxpayer anything and then...ooops. The photo should be nice at least! I must leave as the RCMP is staring at me..at least they like my desk.
