Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Snow on the weekend!! Who would have thought that possible other than it was still May? It was a weekend to remember weather wise for sure. The weather was less than desirable all of last week and hopefully with the start of a new month things will change for the better. Like a number of people have asked, what happened to global warming? We are still extremely busy and a little behind with all of the weather issues but perservering to get all of the toys back to their home bases. I have to apologize to those that have had some issues with the site. Unfortunately, our server/host company had experienced an attack on their servers and contracted some viruses. These slipped through the cracks and caused some issues for some customers and ourselves. They have assured me they are tackling the problem and everything should be good soon!! It has been great to see so many people up braving the weather and bugs. Depending on where you are and the wind you don’t see many but others are really looking like well used pin cushions! The critters were out in full force late today and all types were in the hungry mode. We are hoping the weather person is right this week and we can finally enjoy some nice weather the rest of the week. Have a great week. Our hours for June remain 8-5 seven days a week!

Finally, not too bad a weekend! The weather and the bugs didn’t mind co-operating for a change. Depending on the wind and where you were the weekend didn’t go too bad. Some were overwhelmed with bugs while others complained there was none to be seen! Sunday was definitely the day to be out enjoying the cottage! The picture to the right today is our newest part of the welcoming committee that everyone has been asking about. His name as most know now is Stormy. We have had the pleasure of enjoying this great fellow for almost three years now but have had to keep him in hiding because of his Lab tendencies to be a little playful! He weighs in at a modest 100 lbs. lately so we had to make sure he had calmed down a bit to be part of the team! He came to us through one of our more thoughtful customers that didn’t want to see him destroyed after he had been through a few homes before he was 10 months old.(unfortunately, those homes didn’t realize what a lab had for energy levels!!) He is a fixture now on the docks and store and only requires a pat on the head and a hello to become your friend forever!(biscuits he thinks add to the love and memory of who you are!! Don has been helping him remember people!!) We are still working around the clock to get all the toys in so please be patient and your treasure will be back on the dock soon. The time is required to ensure the treasure is parked beside the dock and not under it when you return to play with it for another great season on the lakes! Be back soon and hopefully the weather guy is wrong again this week so we can get alot more work done before the weekend!

How do you describe the weekend other than the May long weekend!! It was the usual mixed bag of weather that is for sure. The week leading up to it was the same and luckily the winds weren’t as bad as Thursday but nonetheless it was the usual “what follows two days of bad weather?, Monday! Hopefully, regardless of weather, everyone enjoyed their first big weekend away from the city and made the best of it at the cottage. The critters weren’t out in full force like usual so I guess we will be left to feed them ourselves this week when the temps start to warm up. The picture today is of the lake conditions on Sunday. There was a little bit of wave action on the big lakes to say the least. We enjoyed seeing everyone up enjoying the area (not the weather!) With the short week ahead we will continue to keep putting all the toys back on to their home docks for the masses to start enjoying the lakes again. If you have an extra dock hanging around please contact Sally so she can add it to the list and hopefully find it the owner to come and retrieve it. With all the high winds and high water they are ending up in the strangest destinations and we have a number of folks missing their perches for chairs, boats etc. to enjoy the view! Have a great short week and we’ll keep the night candles burning to ensure the toys end up at home soon!
