Welcome June!

Sorry it's been so long since I've written an update... Things have been pretty hectic around here the past several days. Memorial weekend was awesome. The weather couldn't have been better. I'm talking 90 degrees and sunny. No rain, no cold weather. Even the lake is warm enough to swim in... Well, I think so anyway. I know some people are holding out for a little warmer water. :) But overall, it was such a good weekend. We were busy Friday through Monday. Seems like everyone came down to enjoy the nice weather. It felt more like a 4th of July weekend than a Memorial weekend. Now we just hope the weather is as nice for the 4th...

The guys built the new dock (with 24 stalls) in less than two weeks, just in time for Memorial weekend. (It has its own walkway from the launch ramp area.) We were able to rent nightly stalls in it starting Friday afternoon. And we kept it almost full all weekend. So I guess you could say we are about 95% back to normal from the storm in February. We still have a few little things to move here and there. But otherwise, it's looking really good down here. The dock-building crew consisted of Tim, Roger, Josh, Matt, Skip, Craig and Bill. And it was soooo hot last week. But no complaints. They just got it done.

Oh, and I still have Blessing T-shirts for a few folks. If you haven't picked yours up, stop by and get them.

The next event we're planning is the Pontiac Spearfishing Tournament. It's June 17. Registration is 7 to 9 a.m. at the marina. Tournament starts at 9 a.m. Weigh-in is from 1 to 3 p.m. at Hollingsworth Cove in Arkansas. Registration fee is $25 per diver. 100% payback. Prizes given immediately following the weigh-in. And we'll have food at Hollingsworth for the divers and their families -- $5 per person. We had a great turnout last year -- about 50 divers. Call the dock if you have questions. 417-679-3676.

Later!
