Welcome to family day weekend! There is lots of snow and snowmobile trails are in great shape. The lakes however are quite slushy. It looks like it will be a gorgeous weekend with spring like temperatures, so if you will be up here, there is free access to the OFSC trails feb 18-20 – You just have to register on their website to receive a free pass. The BDSC is also hosting its annual Enjoy Your Ride BBQ today from 11-3.
With the warm temperatures, you might be starting to feel like spring is just around the corner so try to be proactive and let Gord know of any stuff you might want done to your boat.

Have a great long weekend

Another week has gone by and trails are getting much better thanks to all of the efforts of the BDSC despite Mother Nature. We are finally starting to see some green and more yellow than red on the trail map. Lakes are starting to be traveled, but please be cautious as there is still lots of water running in the narrows etc. Many places that are generally frozen and safe by now are still open water, and some of the braver folks up here enjoy running the water. Keep your eyes open, don’t simply follow someone else’s tracks, and know where you are going so everyone stays safe. There is snow in forecast next week so hopefully that helps to make it feel like a real Canadian winter.

The boat show went very well with record sales for a lot of dealers. It was great to see so many customers down at the show dreaming of spring!

Safe travels this weekend and hope to see you up enjoying this more winter-like weather!

Well winter has been in a bit of a reprieve this month.  After a very promising December and first week of January, we sure hope it plans on making a comeback asap! Although the lakes look nice and snow covered, they are still unsafe (especially the big ones).  With all of the precipitation we’ve had, and warm melting temperatures, there is still a lot of running water around creeks and off the shores, making shorelines hazardous to be on.  Most trails are still closed, or yellow at best.  Check here for updated information from the snowmobile club.
The Toronto Boat Show seemed fairly busy at the beginning of the week, and there are certainly lots of new toys to look at!  It wraps up this weekend so if you haven’t made the trip down to Exhibition Place yet, you still have some time left. Take a look around to see what is on the market for this summer, and as always if you have any questions or are interested in exploring new water toys, we would be happy to help you make the best decision for your boating needs.
With thinking about new water toys, it is also time to start thinking about what might need to be done to your current watercrafts to ensure they are ready to go when the spring weather hits. If you are thinking of doing any upgrades etc. please let Gord know asap and we will get you in the queue to make sure they are ready to go!
We look forward to seeing you over the next few months if you manage to escape up for a day or so to enjoy the winter that is sure to be around the corner according to the forecasts. Let’s hope the weatherman is right!
