Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Finally, I have some access to the site for a little while. It has been a few weeks trying to sort out all kinds of issues but I do believe we are curing all the problems of past. Within a few days everything should be stable and good. There has for whatever reason been a number of DNS,IP,hosting issues that have befuddled even the more (much more) computer literate people than I. Having said that it has been a good couple of weeks weather wise for everyone to get out and enjoy the second attempt at winter! We have seen lots of people up enjoying the area and this has been great! The trails were as good as could be expected and then the snow helped considerably to let the snowmobiling begin. The only complaints have been the fishing hasn’t been up to the norm from years past. The fish aren’t hungry so I am told as there is numerous sightings on the fish-finders. Numerous sightings didn’t lead to numerous catchings!! Like I always say that is why it is called “fishing not catching!” The warm weather is starting to make it look a little more spring like this week but March is coming in like a lamb so we all know what that means. Have a great week and if the computer gurus in the sky permit I will be back a lot sooner than later!

A gorgeous week it has been. The snow gods haven’t delivered though and this is causing the conditions to be a little worse for sledders. The trails according to those that are riding are great from here north. The lake is still being traveled but one has to watch for snow patches to keep the sleds cool running. The pressure cracks on Mississagua and Catchacoma are increasing in size so I would suggest checking them out in the daylight as opposed to finding them the hard way at night. Snow in the forecast is certainly going to help. Come up, enjoy and take part in some winter fun on the lakes. As one last note we will be closed on February 15/10 for Family Day. Enjoy the weekend!

Finally, I am back. It has been really crazy around here and between computer issues, being away the last week plus etc. I think we are getting back in to a schedule again. The lakes seem to be good to go now but there is only a light dusting of snow on them. This will make it not too bad for skating etc. but it will be a game of catching the snow to keep the sliders and machines from over-heating. As usual, one has to watch the areas that are never safe to travel and avoid those areas. The trails as of this evening are actually pretty decent considering we definitely need more snow. There is still some rocks sticking through but they are as flat as possible considering the base the club has to work with. The weather forecast is looking pretty decent for the weekend as well so it might be a good weekend to come and play at the cottage. The picture to the right shows the other hazard on the lakes as of the last week or so. There is some decent pressure cracks forming on the big lakes so beware of these so you and the machine don’t end up needing attention of the kind you don’t want!! They are about 2-3 feet high in places. It is better to venture out in daylight hours to ensure you know where they are than to go blasting down the lake at night and find out the hard way! For the fisherpeople it sounds like the fish are starting to bite again in the (legal ones to fish) back lakes. To the rest that can’t make it up for the winter weekends, sorry but it is sure sounding like a nice weekend to be here. Cheers for now.
