Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Well winter teased us again last night and early this morning.  Hopefully the snow that came down will make it easier to see the ice that still exists out there!  This picture is from the same spot as yesterday near the second bridge looking out over Gold Lake.

Welcome to the rainy spring season.  Although pictures online from Little Gold are showing ice out, this picture on Gold shows that the big lakes do still have ice.  With cool temperature in the forecast, it is hard to say with it will be gone.
We are busy getting ready for the day it happens because we know folks will want their boats – that being said, with such an early ice out, please keep in mind that the chances of winter showing its face a few more times are fairly good.  Lots of rain at this time of year, combined with cold temperatures icing bilge pumps can result in boats sinking quite easily and the girls aren’t ready to go boat diving just yet!
Please be sure that Gord (gord@littlegullmarina.ca) has lots of notice for getting your toys ready, including any work you would like to see done before they are launched.
If you are heading up this weekend, be aware that cottage roads are very soft after all the rain we’ve had so take your time in order to avoid unwanted towing bills or mud shoveling. We are in the process of adding boats, motors and other toys looking for new homes to our sales section so please let us know if something catches your eye.

Have a great weekend!

We are very excited to introduce you to the newest member of our LGM Team, Gord Markus, as parts and service manager.  Gord is a licensed mechanic with almost 30 years experience in the marine industry.  He is a friendly guy and is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the industry, with extensive experience in trouble-shooting & repairs, teaching, parts & service, and customer relations.   We know he will be an excellent addition to our team.

As for the impending boat season….its not here yet!  With all of the warm weather and rain we’ve had, there is a lot of running water.  Roads are soft, the ice is soft, and after logs being put in the dam, the lake levels are beginning to rise.  Our snowmobile season (if we can call it that) is over for another year.  If you want work done on your boat, please let Gord know asap so we can get your toys in the queue to have them ready to play this year! His email is gord@littlegullmarina.ca.

We hope the kids have had a great March Break!
