Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Well that was quite the storm!  Hydro could be out for a few more days yet.  The crews are busy working away and they are saying hopefully by Thursday everyone will have power but don’t get too excited they keep changing their minds!   The picture is from Catchacoma in a small bay near the narrows during the storm.
There is a fair bit of damage so patience will be necessary if you venture up here.  The roads are clear in most spots with some laneways blocked.
Let us know if you decide to start looking for generators or other “power-out” toys to help.

What a hot week!!! With storm warnings out for today we’re hoping they just go around us.  The swimming lessons are sure enjoying the heat though!  Its a lot easier to swim in the warm sun than it is on cool days.  Lessons are still open for registration.  The second session started today and the third starts on July 30th.  Lori will also be running a Bronze Medallion course the first 2 weeks of august in the afternoons.
Its been a very busy July so far and great to see everyone back out on the water enjoying the paradise that we are so lucky to have.

There are a few events coming up over the next couple of weeks.
It is One Big Day at the community center with a baseball tournament, hidden auction, yard sale, BBQ, and baked goods but come EARLY if you want the baked goodies….they’re usually gone right away!
The Mississagua Regatta is Saturday, July 27th here at the marina.
Fireworks will be on Saturday, August 3rd on Gold Lake with a rain night of Sunday August 4th.

The picture today is of our baby coyote friends who have been hanging around for the past few weeks!
Enjoy the rest of your week and see everyone on the weekend.

As school wraps up we are busy getting ready for the long weekend coming up.  Congrats on the end of another school year!!!  The candy counter is stocked and ready for all the kids out there.  We like to lend a helping hand to parents, grandparents and other caregivers by providing sugar for the summer 🙂

Speaking of school being out, Lori Harper will be celebrating 10 summers of swimming lessons here and running 3 sessions again this summer.  She will be here at the marina on Saturday from 9:30-10:30am for anyone who would like to register in person.  Otherwise you can call her at 705-657-9128 or email lori.harper@sympatico.ca  Rachel Shewfelt will be joining her for anyone who is interested in registering for the Mississagua Lake Day Camp.

There are a few new and exciting things to share with you this year!
We have added a paddle boat to our rental fleet!  Stop by or call to book canoe, boat or paddle boat rentals, available until Thanksgiving weekend.
We are continuing to carry meat from the Butcher Shoppe and have added some new products from European Meats as well.  Everything from chicken fingers to steak and fish are available in the store this summer!
Over the winter, Kawartha Dairy was busy creating some new ice cream flavours.  Over the summer we will bring in a few different ones for you to try out!

The Kawartha Highlands Flight DVD is still available in the store or we can take orders and mail them  out to you.  A great way to see our piece of paradise from the air!  All of the lakes on the chain are included as well as Anstruther and a few more from the back country.

As always we have, or can get, any of your summer toy needs.  Everything from water toys to boats, both new and used.  Stop by or give us a call/email and we can get you set up!

Finally, we would like to welcome Anne, the newest addition to our LGM team!

We look forward to seeing everyone out and about this weekend!  Safe travels and here’s hoping for some hot, sunny weather to kick off the summer.
