Time flies!  It looks like we missed a couple of weeks here…

The pollen over the past 2 weeks has been quite thick. Earlier in the week you could follow the currents in the water easily with the skim of pollen that sat thick on the lakes. The left picture shows the current coming in the bay here.  Thankfully, the rain this week has started to wash some of it from the air and after a few soggy days we have had two days of gorgeous weather that looks like it will continue in to the weekend.

Some summer updates:
Lori Harper is running Swimming Lessons out on the point again this summer. She works with kids and adults of all ages and does private as well as group lessons.  As long as there is enough interest, she will run Bronze Star, Bronze Cross and Bronze Medallion programs as well.  For more information on dates and registration, click here.   Lori will be here on Saturday, June 28th for in-person registration.  She will also be offering boat licencing again this summer.

Zoe and Rachel have let us know that they will not be running a day camp at the community center this year.

For all you fisher folks out there, Bass season opens a week from tomorrow (the regulations have been changed from the 3rd Saturday in June to the 4th Saturday in June).  Just a reminder that we no longer sell fishing licences here, but this link will help you fill out an online application.

We are still on an 8am-5pm schedule until Friday, June 27th when we switch to our 12 hour daily summer schedule.

Looking forward to what looks like a beautiful weekend ahead!

catch of the day

For all you fisher folks out there, check out this fellow’s catch from this morning! Weighing in at 25lbs and 35″, this lake trout shows us that there are still some good fish in our lakes!
Speaking of big fish, we sent Heather off this morning and she is now on her way to South Africa for a month of swimming with the sharks…we’re sure she’ll have some great stories to share with you all this summer!
Hope everyone is enjoying their spring.  The blackflies are on their way out but the mosquitos are nice and healthy so come on up and help us feed them.  The dragonflies will be well fed this year.
We’ve been working on updating and freshening up the website for this summer and are also getting faithful to updating our Facebook page so that we can stay in touch with you. Check it out and we look forward to seeing everyone out and about on what looks like a perfect weekend coming up!

Perfect evening

Perfect evening

Well what a great weekend that was! The picture is from a Friday night boat delivery and captures the beginning of a beautiful, sunny weekend, a welcome break from the rain we’ve seen so far this month.  Although it was a bit chilly, there were some brave folks out there swimming, wakeboarding and tubing….brrr!
The blackflies are apparently hungry now and we have started to see the odd mosquito around so if you’re venturing up this coming weekend, we have lots of bugspray in the store for you to stock up on (local secret – listerine diluted with water works really well too)

It was great to see everyone out and about this weekend and getting back in to cottage routine!  Have a good week
