Happy March Break to all the kids and school staff out there!

Leah and Heather are having a great time in Australia getting caught up and exploring Heather’s new city. Leah spent a day at the Australia Zoo where Heather works now, and they even got to Sydney for a couple of days this week as you can see. Who knows that the next week and a half will hold!

Every year around this time, and often earlier, we start getting several inquiries about summer jobs, so we thought we’d try and give you some info here. Year to year we don’t necessarily know who is returning from the previous summer and who is not, however if you know someone who would like to work here during the summer, or through the year, please encourage them to send a resume to leah@littlegullmarina.ca. Leah keeps all of the resumes we receive on file so that when we do need a spot or two filled, we have an idea of who might be interested and can follow up.

The conditions for outdoor winter activities are still beautiful up here, however there is a good amount of rain in the forecast right now over the next week, so keep an eye on the OFSC trail maps, but get out and enjoy while it’s still here if you can. Please also be respectful of the generosity of the private property owners who allow trails to cross their land by staying on the groomed trails. Have a great weekend and March Break.

March already! January and February were pretty great months for winter activities, and it looks like that will continue a little bit longer for us. The trails are in great condition, there is lots of snow on the lakes and in the forest and the forecast looks good for some more in the future.

We are closed for the month of March again this year, so the closest place to get gas is Anstruther Marina. Leah is off on an adventure before we get busy with boat season, and has headed back to Aussieland to visit Heather for 3 weeks. So far they are having a great time, she even got to attend a Dragon Boat practice with the Brisbane team!
Heather is doing really well, making the most of her time and experiences in Australia. She recently moved from Cairns to Brisbane, and is working at the Australia Zoo.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

Happy belated Valentine’s Day. We hope lots of chocolate and maybe a glass of wine was enjoyed yesterday.

It sure has been quite the month as far as weather goes. The snow up here is great, and the trails should be fabulous for the long weekend coming. It seems perfect for all winter activities except perhaps skating. Anything from skiing to snowshoeing to snowmobiling should be lots of fun! Be careful of pressure cracks if you are out on the lakes. Mississagua and Cold Lake are staked from the marina and former Trappers Inn for safe crossing. The BDSC and their crews are doing an awesome job keeping the trails in great shape.

We also wanted to let you know that we will be closing again this year for the month of March as we take time to work on some big projects around the marina and get ready for the spring weather and boat launch.

Enjoy the long weekend and Happy Family Day.
