Recovering after the Storm The winds were unreal

Our area was hit with winds clocked at about 100KMH. There was all kinds of damage around us. Trees on buildings, trailers knocked off of their footings, and add-a-rooms were destroyed.

The wind was so strong that it almost blew me off the dock when we were trying to move boats.
The barge was shifted, a couple docks were moved and some damage was done but all in all we were spared. While others lost docks and suffered more damage than we did it was still a harrowing experience. All of this while we are still trying to get caught up from all the wind and rain.

Our troubles are only a minor inconvenience compared to the devastating storms they have been experiencing in the southern states. After experiencing the wind we had on Thursday and being without electricity for 12 hours gave me a different view on what the survivors of the tornadoes down south are suffering through. My heart goes out to them.

On a lighter side The Ontario Chinese Anglers Association held their Crappie and Perch tournament here on Saturday. There was a good turnout and the weather was most cooperative. Approximately 10 boats launched and there were several happy faces at the weigh-in.
It was a pleasure to have the Association here and I hope to see them again in the future.

Has spring arrived?

Sunday April 17, 2011

What a change from a couple of days ago. The weather has turned around on a dime!

Yesterday was brutal and unfortunately we had to work mostly outside. A couple of days ago it was seasonable mild and spring like, yesterday it was bone chilling. Cold, frightfully windy, at any time we expected the shelter to blow away. A mixture of heavy down pours of rain mixed with snow added to an already level of discomfort that was almost unbearable. Working in a major winter storm would have been easier!

Today it is a little better, still the wind is biting, the bay has white caps, the temperature hasn’t decided if it wants to stay above the freezing mark or make the plunge. They are calling for snow a little later. This kind of weather make you feel a little more comfortable while watching the hockey play-offs. The sun is trying to come out but I think that I will stay inside a little longer. As I type this blog out, it has started to snow, OH JOY!

The count down has started to the Rice Lake Spring Fishing Festival www.ricelakespringfishingfestival.com it starts May 14 2011 and runs through to June 19 2011. Check the website for more details and deals. Highland View Resort www.highlandview.com and McGregor Bay Marina www.mcgregorbaymarina.com are offering great deals for the duration of the Festival.

We have our fishing boats already in so boat rentals are available. The black crappie and gills are already active it’s the perfect time catch these delicious treats.

Eventually spring will arrive in earnest so this the time to get your motor ready for the summertime you can avoid the rush and disappointment so get it done now. The sooner that you get them in the sooner we get them back to you.
