Fishing with Grandkids & Friend
Two days of fishing just around the corner of our point yielded 15 bass in short order, lots of action! The three boys kept me busy getting fish off the hook and into a bucket. /im

Around Hay Island with C & E
A nice calm and sunny day and our friends C&E are at the cottage with us for a few days so we decide on a boat cruise.
Route Bay Rip
A solo cruise over to the Route Bay boat lift into Blindfold Lake to check out the water levels at the lift. Levels are down to a manageable level and the fixed concrete dock on the Blindfold side is out of the water and the railway cart appeared to be operational . On the way Read More …
Going Down
Finally, the Lake of the Woods water level appears to be on the way down. Let the dock repairs begin. ☹️
