Just 2 more days!!!!

Yes, there's a chance for rain on Saturday, and YES, the Blessing will go on! Rain or shine! Let's hope shine... but either way, we are still partying on Saturday! Don't worry, we'll give our priest an umbrella if necessary. :)

And hey... aren't boats made to get wet anyway?

Do I hear wedding bells?

A bit of news: There will be a wedding at Pontiac Cove on Saturday at about 1:30 p.m., out in the cove, just before the blessing starts. So if you're participating in the Blessing of the Fleet, make sure you're outside the breakwater by 1 p.m. or so, so that you can witness this glorious event! And be on time for the blessing! See you Saturday!

A Side Note for the Blessing...

Oh, by the way, the Pontiac Relay for Life team will be setting up a booth at the Blessing to raise money for the American Cancer Society. It will most likely be kid-oriented, with cookies, some kind of fruit slushies and maybe lemonade. A fun game for the kids is in the works. Just FYI! So don't forget the little ones!

Wow! Two posts in one day. Don't you feel special. :)

Hump Day!

Not a lot going on this week at the marina. The weather has stayed very nice after a beautiful and HOT Easter weekend. A little cold front came through late last night, and today it's more like 75 instead of pushing 90. And that's nice. We like it hot. But not so much in April!

We are ready for the Blessing! I'm still hearing buzz about it... which makes me think we'll have a pretty good turnout for this first-ever event. I hope! If you have any questions about it, please call us at the dock. We're here 7 to 7 Sunday through Thursday; and 7-8 Friday and Saturday. The number is 417-679-3676.

I hope everyone is having a good week. At least we're over the hump and headed toward Friday. That's always a good thing. Cheers!

Water, Water Everywhere!

Just wanted to let you know that the water is turned on everywhere it should be at the dock. And yes, the fish-cleaning table at the new dock has water. And the faucet here by the office has water. And yes, that means we will be making cappuccino again. :)

An Easter Weekend Preview

Well you couldn't ask for a better forecast for Easter weekend! Mid-80s and sunny all weekend long! We're anticipating a busy weekend. It usually is if the weather is nice. Plus, the crappie are biting. We sold out of crappie minnows over the weekend. But we'll have more Tuesday morning. We're getting all of our rental boats cleaned up and ready for the season. And our new T-shirts came in last week. And the shelves are filling up. Things are looking really good!

About the Blessing: I wanted to tell you that if you have other boating friends who don't dock at PCM, please feel free to invite them too. Any and all boats are welcome to join the parade. And remember, you don't have to decorate your boats. Any boat can participate. But if you do decorate, you will be eligible to win a prize! Hope to see you there!!

Wanted: A PRIEST!

Hi all! Well, we just found out today that Father Paul won't be able to offer our blessing on April 29. He has a conflict. Bummer! So we're on the hunt for another priest. Any suggestions? :) No worries. It will come together by the 29th. I am having so much fun planning this event. I hope you all enjoy it! It's only about three weeks away! Are you working on themes for your boats? I can't wait to see what you all come up with. I'm thinking we'll have a registration of some sort Saturday morning, where we'll issue numbers to those of you who are decorating your boats -- so you can be judged. (Remember, we're giving prizes for the best decorations, themes, etc.)

It's been pretty nice in Pontiac this week. A little cold in the mornings, but perfect in the afternoons. Although... We're all sick of these threatening thunderstorms. We may be in for another one tomorrow! Sheesh! What have we done to upset Mother Nature??? Let's just hope the bad weather misses us.

This weekend is supposed to be nice. So come see us!
