At about 1:45Pm today the marina was shaking for some 5 to 6 seconds. Turns out that we had a special G8 earthquake in this area. Apparently it measured 5.1 on the Richter Scale. Was this a planned event by the protesters? Speaking of protesters, I have now seen my first one passing the marina. The Budish Monk passed here about 1:00 Pm banging his drum and chanting. i was told this guy walked all the way from Toronto. Not that is some determination on his part to get his point across and peacefully at that! Recent update on the earthquake is that it was actually a 5.5 and was centered 34 kilometres north of Ottawa. Strange but the quake happened almost to the second when the G8/G20 Chinese group landed in Ottawa. More great stuff for conspiracy theories.
I have included some pictures of the task force boats protecting the Deerhurst site in for fuel. Twin 300 Mercury Verados....very nice about 300K a piece. Lots of guns very serious stuff. Nothing like having a police officer all dresses in black in your showroom with a 9 mm machine gun. All new meaning to peace and serenity in Muskoka!
So far it has been pretty quiet on the trouble front here in Huntsville with the G8. Thursday and Friday should tell the tale here for what bad is going to happen. Scary stuff as I just heard they arrested a guy in Toronto with bombs!
You can get to the marina there is one checkpoint across from the water treatment plant which will let you into the marina with photo ID. Just had a conversation with a potential boat buyer in North Bay. they felt the earthquake there too! Huntsville Marine does get alot of boat shopping form North Bay and farther north as we are a Crestliner dealer and almost always better priced.
By the way...we are selling boats this week on our G8 sale! If you are in the market...give me a call. I see alot of you are on our site looking at our stock. Mercury Ouboard 5 year included extended warranty free program ends June 3oth.
