Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Welcome to February!  Phil the groundhog saw his shadow last weekend so we have a few more weeks of winter and the snow just keeps coming! The banks are getting higher and higher and we are trying to get out and enjoy this wonderland but we still need to keep moving the snow to new locations to allow for the vehicles to keep moving about.

It is absolutely amazing to see a winter like we used to see and the ability to traverse through the forest without fears of running water! (due to the unforgiving freezing temperatures!)  It is certainly taking it’s toll on the heating bill and the wood stove’s ability to swallow cords of wood at a time.

With this year’s Toronto Boat Show behind us we have seen a lot of people looking forward to some new toys for the  warmer weather to come. If there is anything we can assist with we certainly will do our best to help put a new toy on the dock or beach.  We have been extremely busy putting a lot of deals together for the season coming so don’t hesitate or it might be too late with the way the US dollar is going to secure the toys you want at a decent price.

There has been lots of snowshoeing, skiing and sledding going on as has been witnessed by the tracks everywhere so come up and enjoy a real Canadian winter!

Winter Fun

Snow, snow and more snow!  It is absolutely beautiful up here and Mr. Winter isn’t finished with us yet.  The snowmobiling conditions are unbelievable and in between plowing and roof shoveling, the locals up here are trying to get out and enjoy! The groomed trails are apparently in great condition as well. Its been years since they’ve been this good so come up and enjoy!
This has also been a great winter for our furry friends.  They’ve been out and about lots and we’ve gotten some good pictures over the past week.
Our hours for February are the same as January.  We are open 9am-4pm everyday and closed on Feb. 17th for Family Day.  When snowmobile trails are officially closed we will be closed on Sundays.

Have a great week and come on up and enjoy winter on the weekend!

Furry Friends

Welcome back to winter after a brief reprieve with all the rain last week.  The lakes were well slushed up but have again returned to a very solid (albeit, slippery!) state. The light snow the last couple of days has been just enough to let the sleds back out on the ice again. The snowmobile club has been working tirelessly to ensure the trails are being kept in quite good shape considering the weather challenges.

I attended the Toronto Boat Show for a couple of days and it was as usual a great showing of all the newest and greatest toys and accessories out there to acquire for the summer to come.  As always, if you are looking for a new (or used) toy for any season, let us know – we’d be happy to help find the perfect fit for you and your family.

We hope everyone has been enjoying the winter so far and will get a chance to get up and enjoy what our area has to offer at this time of year.

Some are removing the snow loads on their cottages as there is always the chance that it was getting a little too heavy.  A challenging job with the multiple layers of crust on the snow, but a necessary chore.
The one thing to be aware of if travelling up is that the lane-ways are quite icy if they haven’t been sanded so take your time coming in especially if going down a hill. The snow on top of the ice is deceiving as to how slippery they really are in quite a few spots.

Have a great week!
