The Bongo is Back in the Water

Yesterday I put the Rave Bongo, Log and Launch Pad back in the water. I was actually in the lake for quite a while and the water is just beautiful! Quite a job as during the spring break-up the ice picked up the concrete blocks I use for an achor and dragged them out into the bay. I managed to haul them up just off the bottom and drag it back to the correct spot in one of our little boats.

So everythings is just about in place for the start of summer. Guests start arriving tomorrow, in for a 3 night stay, then our weekly guests are back in on Saturday. At this point we have 1 cottage left the week of July 9-16, then that is it until August 13. So if you are thinking about a cottage holiday, give us a call.

Mid to late August can be a great time, the nights are starting to cool off nicely for sleeping and the bugs are all gone!

Till next time

June Update

Well things are progressing up this way. The lake is warming up nicely and at last we are getting some warmer and drier weather. Finally getting some painting done!

The summer is starting to fill up and we now only have 1 spot left if July and August is full up until Sat Aug 13, then we have spots available. So if you are putting off making your plans, I wouldn't wait much longer. We have had several past guests contact us this year expecting to book cottages, not realising we were filling up, so to avoid disspointment best to act now.

Till next time

Turtle Report

We discovered a snapping turtle coming down our driveway behind the house last night around dinner time, obviously heading for the lake.

We kept Mollie tied up, she was pretty excited as you could imagine, and just let "snappy" make his/her way. I found him/her this morning only a short distance from the lake so I ran up to the house to grab my camera and when I returned he/she was no where to be found? The only thing I can think of is that once they get that close to the water they must really bolt (or at lease bolt as fast as a turtle is capable) and they are now safely in the lake.

Beautiful day today after yesterdays wash out. Everything is fresh and green and it is warming up nicely. I think a boat ride and swim are on the agenda today.

Till next time
