Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

The last day of April already!  It seems as though we were just hitting May at full speed ahead last year, and now here we are again. Our ‘get the boats out of bed’ lists are ever growing, so please make sure you get in touch with Gord at least TWO WEEKS before you would like to see your toys back on your dock to enjoy this summer.   Water levels have come up but have not reached their usual height for this time of year.  Dam construction is continuing, and you can see updates on that here.

Finally, some of you may know that our daughter, Heather, is embarking on the quite the journey this year.  She has been hired by the Cairns Aquarium, yes Cairns, and begins her adventures in Australia tomorrow night when she departs Toronto.  We want to wish her all the best over the coming year in her new endeavours – she will be greatly missed here at LGM, and we are sure she will miss us too….right Heather? 🙂 Good luck and have fun!

This little cookbook will make a great Mother’s Day gift…and you’ll be helping Survivors Abreast represent Peterborough and surrounding area at the 2018 International Breast Cancer Dragon Boat Festival in Florence, Italy. Stop in at Little Gull Marina to pick up your copy!

Recycle your wine corks at Little Gull Marina! This is a great fundraiser by Survivors Abreast to help our dragon boat team with expenses to travel to Florence, Italy in July 2018. We will be proud to represent Peterborough amongst about 120 teams of breast cancer paddlers from around the world! Did you know that there are 188 teams from 20 countries who are breast cancer paddlers living a full and active life?

Well, the ice is finally completely gone as of early in the week.  The water level is slowly starting to come back up to spring levels and will probably get there in the next week or so.  This is early as ice normally goes out today most years.  We are in the process of getting the boats starting to be launched although all the rain this week certainly slows the process. There is some docks floating around and logs etc. as well so be careful when you are out for your first boat rides.  Remember for those anxious to fish that our lakes are closed to all fishing until the third Saturday in May as we are designated as a fish sanctuary. Gord is busy filling in the request sheets for boat launching so make sure you get ahold of him with at least two weeks notice so you have your boat for the weekend you hope to. Cold, rainy and windy today and tomorrow but it looks like it is going to warm up a bit for the weekend.  Have a great end to the week!
