Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Where does the time go? It has been crazy busy around here and no time to update. The boats are going in to the lower than normal water level and returning to their homes. The critters are starting to come out a little heavier now and seem alot hungrier. Pencil Lake area tonite was just unbelievable, more critters per square foot than the Congo!! I had so many bites I didn’t know which one to scratch! The weather forecast is looking a little better for the weekend as long as the Thunderstorms forecast don’t turn in to anything more serious like they are seeing to the south and west of us. Hope everyone has a safe drive up and enjoys the weekend.! Don’t forget Lori Harper is doing the boat course etc. on Sunday at the community center(see back in news) so if you don’t have the card it will be a chance to do so. Remember, the water is lower than normal so unless you want to keep our prop guy really busy adjust your travels to mid summer channels as opposed to spring levels. Bye for now. someone is waiting for their boat and must make sure it gets there!!

To all the moms out there Happy Mother’s Day! Hope everyone is enjoying this fabulous weather. Nothing like a little snow in May to keep the blackflies to a minimum. The weather looks a little cool for the next few days so that should help to keep them at a minimum. Have a great week!

Rain, is finally crossing our area and bringing the much needed water we were looking for. The lake is slowly rising but we still need another 18-20 inches minimum to start the summer. It was so dry and dusty but the rain has brought out the leaves, grown some grass and fattened up the little black fly critters to a good healthy biting size!!! The dragon flies have appeared in the last few days as well so we will see how we make out with our annual ritual of feeding these little guys. We have been quite busy getting all the toys back in to the water and home to their respective docks. As always, Sally needs that two weeks notice or there is no promises on having your toy on the dock when you were hoping for. Our spring hours are now starting this weekend,, 7 days a week 8-5 for the month of May. The store is being stocked up with all the summer treats for kids young and old. A reminder about the mandatory boating card. Our friendly, neighbourhood law-keepers have been promising they will be here and charging those that don’t have the card! As mentioned last week Lori is offering the course and test on the long weekend for the procrastinators in the crowd. Give her a call asap to ensure you can get in to the course and not be stuck paying the $250 fine! They are saying zero tolerance and no sense of haha!! Looking at the forecast for the weekend one might want to pack an extra sweater or two with the below zero temps promised for Sunday and Monday mornings! Gotta love May and the predictable weather for weekends! Have a great weekend and to all the moms out there have a Great Mother’s Day!!!! (subtle reminder for the rest so they remember MOM!)
