IMG_1158We’ve had temperatures below freezing a few nights now, hoses and powerwashers have had ice buildup and the mechanics are complaining that their fingers are cold, and based on this picture from the weekend, it seems the weather man is telling us its time to get those boats out of the water!  If you haven’t heard from us yet, please email sally@littlegullmarina.ca or call us 705-657-9088 and we’ll make sure things get wrapped up.  Also remember to check out the cottage water lines and get them all ready for the impending winter.  It is hunt season so if you’re driving up to check on things, keep an eye out because there are lots of critters running the roads.
Now that its November, our hours are Monday-Saturday 9am-4pm.  We are closed November 3-7th and Sundays until snowmobile trails open.
With winter and yes I’ll say it, Christmas, just around the corner, check out our website or give us a call to do some Christmas shopping.  ATVs and snowmobiles will be updated in the next week or so and a simple aerial video of the lakes would make a great stocking stuffer.
All the best and thank you again for another great season on the water.

Fall sunset

Our hullwashers saw a great sunset last week!

We meant to get to this last week but somehow the short week got away from us and here we are a week later.  It was great to see everyone up enjoying the beautiful weather we had on Thanksgiving weekend.  Now that we are past Thanksgiving, we are open 9am-5pm Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays until snowmobile trails open.  Speaking of snowmobiles, trail permits are still on sale until November 1st for $180.  For the month of November they will be on sale for $210 and beginning Dec. 1 will be regular price.
Hunting season has started so be safe out there when exploring the roads and forests – bright colours are the way to go.

Thank you all for making this another great season!

Mid FallIts amazing how much change a week can bring.  Fall sure came in a hurry!  The trees are still colourful although a lot of the colour is now on the ground ready to be raked.  The temperature dropped and the girls went from picking up boats in t-shirts to picking up boats in snowsuits in a matter of days.  They’re still hoping for a warm snap for all of next week’s pick-ups.
The water has gone down significantly.  Gull Rock on Mississagua is finally visible and we’ve had a few props come in for repair so be careful out there – the rocks are starting to make themselves known.  So if you find yourself thinking that the end of boating season may be creeping up on you, give us a call or email and we can pick up the toys and get them here safe and sound for the winter.
We’ve also gotten a ton of rain over the past week and boat batteries are having a hard time keeping up with bilge pumps so if you’re up this weekend, take a peek and make sure it will still run – the water is getting a bit chilly to go boat diving!
We are open from 9am-5pm for the rest of the week and through the weekend.  They’re calling for a good one.
Enjoy the rest of the week and Happy Turkey Day!
