Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Finally some rain!  The nice weather has been great but we did need some rain, but we need more.  The Fire Ban has not been lifted, nor do we know when it will be (Leah’s crystal ball isn’t working on this one). It’s all up to Mother Nature.

In other news, we are sad to let you know that the organizers have decided that the annual fireworks event will not be taking place this summer. All of the local businesses up here are so grateful for your continued support, especially this year and we hope to see you on the water next year!

With all the time being spent at the cottage for so many of you this summer, it seems likely that an item or two may have mysteriously disappeared off the boat or dock and lies at the bottom of the lake. Many of you may know Kendra from working here at the marina. She would be happy to help you rescue your items, and based on our experience probably will find things you didn’t even know were down there! Send her a text for more info or to book a time.

Enjoy the weekend

Another hot sunny weekend and week ahead. We suspected it was just a matter of time before a Fire Ban came in to effect. As of midnight tonight, there is a complete Fire Ban. This means no open flame fires for any reason.  Please keep our community safe by respecting this ban.

Because the Community Center is still closed, the 507 is being published online for you. Big thanks to Kathy and her crew for keeping the community newspaper going.

In continued efforts to keep everyone safe, we will not be offering water taxi services this year.

And for those of you who have been missing your weekly trip to visit Don and Bill at the Transfer Station, they are back up and running for normal operations and eagerly await your visits!

Stay safe this week.

I guess it officially summer now!  Congratulations to all of the kids out there who finished another school year, especially those who are graduating this year – we can’t imagine how tough its been for you to end the year in such a strange way. And to all of the educators who survived it, well done!  Enjoy this weekend of sunshine and warm weather to kick off the summer.

This week was Linda and Kim’s last week out back cleaning boats with Mary. They braved the snow, rain, wind and sweltering heat over the past 8 weeks to get your boats cleaned and did a great job. Mary will get us through to the finish line now.

Today is the first day that we are open from 8am-8pm, back to summer hours. A reminder that they are a bit different this year. We will be open from 8-8 on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 8-6 Sundays through Thursdays. We welcome back our entire summer crew here (Evelyn, Nikola, Kendra, Jordan, Olivia & Natasha), and they are looking forward to seeing you on the docks and in the store.

If you should be receiving emails from us and are not, please check your junk mail folders. Emails from Leah and Michelle seem to be going there for many folks. We do appreciate you continuing to contact us through the office.

This spring posed a whole slew of challenges for us, as it did for so many. So this next part comes from Leah, Michelle and Shawna-Marie. Thank you to everyone for their creative ideas and potential solutions to the roadblocks we faced back in May. We learned that we have some very creative customers, especially when it comes to dreaming up ways of getting your boats to your docks back when we were not allowed to deliver them to you or let them be picked up. Thanks for all the laughs through the chaos and confusion!
