Spring is in the air!
Well, sort of. We still have patches of snow and the lake is completely frozen over but the river is opening up. The weather man has promised that above freezing temperatures, at least in the daytime are here to stay. Here's hoping! We're anxious to get working and James has lots of ideas for camp improvements running round his head that he'd like to put into action. A couple of the cabins are getting new wood floors, others are getting an interior facelift. We also plan on refreshing the lodge dining room and again this spring some boats are getting new motors.
Although we're happy to see it end, we had a good winter. Snowfall was good so hopefully that'll help keep up the water level this spring. We added Cincinnati to our tradeshow tour, which also includes Columbus and Toronto. At the shows we saw many of our repeat guests. It's so nice to know that everyone is looking forward to another fish-filled season at the Harbour!
This spring we'll be welcoming another wee face to the Harbour crew. We're not sure if we're having a boy or a girl, but most people have their money on a girl. I think Evelena will enjoy being a big sister. Our Husky, Milo, joined us for our first season at the Harbour, season two welcomed Evelena, in season three our Border Collie, Maggie, joined us and now in our fourth season we'll be welcoming another baby - hmmmm.... there seems to be a trend here! Much to James' disappointment, I've put my foot down to another dog for season five, two is enough!
See you soon!
Along with the excitement of each new season comes the pleasure of being able to welcome back friends from previous years and to welcome new guests into the Harbour family. For us, the best part of being at the Harbour is you! Thanks so much and we're looking forward to seeing you.

Boat and Motor Insurance
Let's face it, no one likes to end their trip by adding the cost of a prop to their tab. So, we've decided to introduce boat and motor insurance this year. For $29.95, damage to the boat or motor will be covered. With the insurance you won't have to pay to replace a damaged prop but I can't promise that I won't add your prop to our wall of shame! If you would like more information about the insurance please send me an email. The insurance will be available when you check in.

2011 prediction
According to MNR Conservation Officers, we're to expect a meaty catch this summer. Much to the disappointment of local ice fishermen, the fish just weren't biting this winter. Conservation Officers say it was due to our fall storms which stirred up lots of feed in the water and lasted over the winter months. For our spring and summer fishermen this means big fish. Get your tackle ready! |
