Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Thanksgiving, here we come. The final countdown to the traditional summer-ending weekend. It looks like the forecast is not even going to let us down with the weather that seems to be normal for the last few Thanksgiving weekends here in Ontario. The water level is continuing to decline and well I don’t have to tell anyone about the weather the last week. Today, with the winds, it was a tad bit wavy on the lakes to say the least. Add the monsoon rain from time to time(hmmmm, most of the day!!) and it felt like Mother Nature was just trying to put a fitting close to the summer that started in late August/early September. We have, as usual been putting lots of boats to bed and trying to keep ourselves dry. (not very successful on that front.) We are looking forward to seeing lots of faces over the weekend to enjoy the weather whatever it may bring. Remember, the last few weekends the weather person hasn’t been totally right and we have seen some nice days. The snow in the forecast seems a touch early but well I guess it is October. The west can’t have it all and not share!! If you are trying to decide about shutting down the water or not the forecast is suggesting -4 for next Tuesday so that might help with the decision. Have a great end of the week and we’ll see everyone soon!

Well, the weather wasn’t totally as predicted and Sunday afternoon was not too bad at all. The lake level is dropping fast so lots of people were out enjoying the water while it is still here. Even the leaves are starting to fall. It looks like next weekend will be the weekend to enjoy the height of the fall colours. There was a few people even trying to get their docks and boats moved out to prevent the boat being fully out of the water.(trust me, been there done that, not fun!!) The forecast for the next couple of days isn’t pretty but it is looking nice for the end of the week.We hope all the kids are enjoying the back to school thing and are getting out enjoying the fall as much as possible. Have a great week and we will see everyone out enjoying the end of summer over the next couple of weeks counting down to Thanksgiving!

Still, unbelievable weather. It was another great weekend with some cool temps in the morning but tubers and waterskiers out by the afternoon. It was really busy here again on the weekend with the afternoons being somewhat crazy at times. The water level is continuing to go down quickly and thus we are seeing a large amount of boats coming in a little early in spite of the weather. The numbers of boats coming in are great to see as this ensures they go away well dried etc. because of the lack of rain lately. (I couldn’t have said that in July!!) Not that the boats ever go away wet but it is a little nicer to work when the weather has been as nice as it has. We have had a very large group of new customers we are seeing this fall for storage and that has been great to see. Having said this we are getting to the point of capacity so as I mentioned a few weeks ago just to ensure a spot please let Sally know so she can make sure we can fit it in for this winter. Well we should all keep enjoying this late summer and we’ll keep busy putting the toys to bed. Have a great week.
