We have broken our seemingly uninterrupted cycle of July weather in April and May and for the last week our normal early June weather has prevailed. It was raining here this morning but now as the day progresses the Sun has peaked out and blue sky is the order of the day. I had commented earlier that the mosquito and black fly situation here at the marina and immediately surrounding area was extremely low for this time of year. When you travel out of this area for example to Moon River near Mactier or to the Dorset area the bugs seem to be more normal.
Huntsville Marine is proud to announce that we have been selected to represent the award winning line of pontoon boats from Manitou. We are now the exclusive agent for a large portion of Ontario including Muskoka, Haliburton over into Greogian Bay and up to the North Bay area. More to follow on this in the near future on this exciting addtion to the Huntsville Marine boat lines. Our first product is ordered and will be arriving late in June. This has been an event full year for Huntsville Marine with the Reader Choice Award, the awarding of the Stingray Powerboat Dealership and now Manitou. We are definitely on a role and have perhaps the best boat lineup bare none in Muskoka and perhaps Ontario.
For those history buffs today is a very famous day! June 6, 1944 also know as D Day the Allies attack on Normandy on the coast of France took place. The movie Saving Private Ryan does an excellent job of showing the carnage on the beaches especially for the Americans on Ohama beach. The Canadain's suffered too and showed great determination on this bloody day and where the only forces to achieve their objectives. Lots of brave men and women lost...could we still make the sacrifices if we had to? Lots of hard fighting followed with many many young Canadians never returning.
The G8 rumour mill is active with one of the latest information surrounding mysterious spraying of insecticide at night in the Huntsville and Penn Lake areas. No confirmation on this strictly a rumour...most likely our government would never admit this for liability reasons. There was also a periscope sighting of Twin Sister last week as well as a collision with a boat and underwater object in a previously okay area near the canal I have been informed. The presence of the army and security forces increases daily as we approach lunch with the Prime Minister. I for one will be glad when it is over! I hold out hope that for 1 billion that something good comes from this other than a few good pictures. Lots of negative letters to the editors in the local press over the costs involved with this event and the G20. Politics is a blood sport and getting to power and keeping it is everything! Our federal representative has apparently handed out some 70 million in grants in this area for the G8 party. We the people even gave 400K to the restoration of the Bigwin Island Fairy. We continue to be bribed with our own money collected in taxes. Huntsville Marine is a tax collector as is every other business. I think we all realize that some taxation is necessary but it is just the prudent use of this hard earned money is what we expect. I do not blame the Tories for spending this money as the Liberals would do exactly the same if they had the chance and did it for years when they were in power. Unfortunately until voting patterns change and we hold our elected officials to a much higher standard...it is business as usual. By the way the press is up to their necks in this mess as well..when it changed years ago from news reporting to entertainment the truth and a good means of a counter check on excess were lost. A week ago I had a major news service here at the marina and man was he mad and rude when I would not go on the air on camera and say something negative for them. had a bad experience and they can edit comments to anything they want. Besides I have said enought already about this party and I am sure there are listing devices in the marina. If I am not here when you visit us this is most likely caused by me being locked up as a trouble maker in the Baysville Area...the world's coldest area by the way.
This was another busy week here at the marina continuing on with continuing to splash storage boats out of storage for the summer. We will be done with storage in a couple of weeks and life here at the marina becomes a little more sane. it has been an unbelievably busy year so far which has pushed the facility and staff to the absolute limit. For those who have not worked in this industry in the spring...many don't survive...it is too much too fast with huge weather and logistical issues.
The Blue Jays are hanging tough against the Yanks....good for them. Attendance is starting rise again as they show they can compete. Big Ben made it to training camp without getting into more trouble...maybe there is hope in Steeler world. I still think he is gone during the season when the first QB starter goes done on a contender.
Yesterday there was a Penquin sighting near the Wallmart plaza in Huntsville! Jaclyn does not belive in this or owls either. By the way this group of Penquins at Wallmart does actually work, each has its own computer and they all pull their weight equally...no slackers allowed! This is an inside joke for my daughter just finishing up her CMA in Toronto.
The sun has returned to Muskoka! Anyone seen a mosquito in Huntsville lately? Just asking not making any claims here...there are missles pointed at me as I speak from the other side of Fairy Lake. Someone pushes the button and I am a piece of charcoal!
