THE HARBOUR GOES FROM ICE TO WATER

What a difference a couple of good warm days make. 


 At right is what our marina looked like on Friday when we went out to Gimli, to work on the boat for the weekend.  All iced in. 
Then on Sunday as we were heading home after a warm sunny weekend, this is what the harbour looked like.  The water flowing free. 
 
 
By next weekend all the snow around the edges will be gone.  And there will be some boaters that will be champing at the bit to get their boats launched.  There are some that would have been in the water by mid April, if the weather had co-operated.  There are only a few that can launch, here in this harbour though.  Most of us have boats that are too large to launch in here and must launch in Gimli harbour and cruise out on the lake the 12 miles to get here, and the lake is still full of ice.  So we will all be watching for that to disappear and putting our names on the launch roster. 
 
 
IT CAN'T COME TOO SOON FOR ME.
