Hi Readers
Well, since I last wrote I have been getting a few things done.
The place is now raked, dock re-levelled (after the winter ice damage), shuffle board, volley ball/badminton and horsehoes ready to go (although if the weather cooperates we would like t0 give the shuffle board a fresh coat of paint). Storm windows are off #1 and #10 and the fly screens back on.
Both motor boats back in the water and taken out for their test spin after cleaning the plugs, replacing the gear oil, greasing what needs greasing and checking the pull cords. Paddle boats also back in and Lucy and a friend paddled over to Flamingo Island in the canoe yesterday.
A windy start today but with the exception of tomorrow (rain is in the forecast) it looks like a nice week ahead.
Still a few cottages available for the Muskoka Tri weekend, and one lone spot available for the summer (July 14-21) plus 2 openings for Labour Day.
Till next time
John

We have our Lake Back!
Hi Readers
Looking out from the top floor of our house and down through the pines I see the flat, calm, mirror like expanse of beautiful Clear Lake. I woke this morning to the loons calling and our local woodpecker hammering away.
The lake ice left us last Thursday morning. 7am in the morning and we were still looking at half our bay covered in ice. By midday nothing but water.
The last few days have been spectacular with temps in the 20's and sunny. Nights have been beautiful as well and Saturday night we had our first campfire of the season.
It has been great for working. The place is now raked (yes, the entire place!), dock fixed after the usual winter damage caused by the ice, the old golf cart going again, pumphouse cleaned out and ready for the pump and associated equipment and a good supply of wood split and ready by the firepit.
Hopefully this week I'll get the boats back in and other chores completed. I'll still wait a week or so before putting the water back on.
Only one spot left for summer, so give us a call if you are still looking for a summer holiday for your family.
Till next time

Spring Vacancy Update
Hello Readers
What is happening? Two weeks ago I put away the snow shovels, bedded down the snowblowers, brought the mower to the front of the shed, readied the rakes, hung out our Welcome Flag at the entrance and got myself prepared for our spring working bee. Now I sit waiting for the snow to melt (yet again) and the frost to leave the ground so we can get on with it. Come on Mother Nature, gives us our Spring!
Thought I would take the opportunity to update you on our vacancies.
Vacancy Report
Has with previous years, we will have all 10 cottages available beginning with the May long weekend.
May 24th weekend (Victoria Day) is booked out and we have no openings for Canada Day as our weekly bookings commence June 30 and that first week is booked out. Please also note we have no openings for the Civic holiday.
The weekend of June 15-17, is the Muskoka Triathlon (http://www.trisportcanada.com) and we still have cottages available, although we usually fill up, so don't leave it too long.
For those of you still on the look-out for a summer cottage, we have only one left, #8, a 3 bedroom, which is available for the week of July 14-21, plus 3 vacant cottages for the Labour Day Weekend (Friday-Monday).
The weekend after Labour Day is becoming popular and filling up, but after that we have plenty of vacancies, right through until Thanksgiving. If you don't have children or your kids are not yet school age, consider holidaying with us in September. Our weekly rates are reduced, the nights cool, the days warm and it is a great time of the year for a walk in Algonquin or Arrowhead.
