Just Another Day in Paradise

Gosh I wish I had something to report. But alas, it is very quiet around the boat dock these days. The temp has been fairly mild, although it looks like it's going to get a little cooler as we go into the weekend. We got a little rain on Christmas day. No snow. A few flurries would have been okay. :)

Be safe and have fun this Sunday as you ring in 2007!

Cheers!

6 Days and Counting

Christmas is in less than a week. Where the heck did December go?? I hope you're all ready for the holiday weekend. And I hope you get to take some time off to hang out with your friends and fam. I really do not have anything to report. We'll be closed this Sunday and Monday. So if you need anything, try to catch us Saturday morning. Thanks!

Hello again!

Sorry it has been so long since I've written. I just haven't had any big news to report. I still do not, really. But I thought I'd write something anyway...

Beautiful weather this week. Today we're supposed to hit near 70 degrees. And same for tomorrow and Sunday. Of course by the end of next week the temp is supposed to be in the 40s and 50s again, rainy and cold. It's a wonder everyone around here doesn't stay sick ALL the time.

This week Tim and I went to the annual meeting of M.A.M.A. -- Missouri-Arkansas Marina Owners Association. You've seen the signs posted around the dock that say: "No Fishing within 50 Feet"... and they have M.A.M.A. on them... well, that's what it stands for. We met with other marina owners from Bull Shoals, Table Rock, Norfork, Beaver, Clearwater and Greer's Ferry lakes. It was interesting to hear some of the issues these other marina owners deal with, and how we can relate. We also heard from Colonel Wally Walters from the Corps of Engineers Little Rock district office. There are a couple issues on the table right now that have to do with lake levels and fishing regulations in commercial marina areas... I'll keep you posted as I hear more about these things.

Our hours will remain 8am to 10am through the winter. Often someone is here past 10, but don't count on it. I hope you are planning an outdoor activity for this weekend... gotta soak up the warm December weather when we get it. I think we might go four-wheeling. :)

Happy Friday!

Halloween in December?

So this morning... for just a second... I really thought someone might have played a trick on us... by spraying Silly String all over the dock! I have never seen anything like it. The cobwebs were covered in such a thick coating of frost that they looked like thick white strings hanging everywhere! And I thought the spiders were long gone. Well, they surely are now. I hated to knock them down because they looked so cool!

Oopsie!

Well, we did not get very much ice and snow -- maybe an inch -- but we did get about 5 inches of rain, which caused the lake to rise very rapidly overnight. Doesn't that water look cold? Brrrrrr!
