The ice was still solid on the lake, when we were there on the weekend, but a couple of boats have been launched at the beach already. Glen Wright has launched "For Now", (always the first boat in the harbour). I'm sure he will start living on board immediately, Glen is always anxious to get the season started. Marge Homenick's "Teddy Two", has also been launched. I guess this is the official start of Boundary Creeks boating season.
The rest of us with larger vessels are still waiting for that damned ice to clear out of Gimli Harbour and off of the lake as we all have to be launched in Gimli and make the 12 mile cruise down the lake to get to Boundary Creek Marina. Even though Dan and I, have a steel hulled boat, I don't much feel like playing "Titanic" with icebergs on the lake.
AND SO WE KEEP OURSELVES BUSY AND PRAY FOR HOT WEATHER
