Early May is always hit or miss when it comes to boating weather (70 and sunny can become 50 and rainy real quick, like today). But there are at least a few great boating days early in the month and we are happy to already see some people taking advantage of it. Our service team is getting boats out the door and to their summer dock homes as fast as possible. The Freedom Boat Club has started training its new members. We love this about FBC, all new members go through a class that includes classroom training and importantly, on-the-water instruction with a captain. The members do a great job operating the boats safely and navigating into and out of our marina.

Docks are starting to go in around the different camping and picnic islands and buoys are getting placed. Hopefully a lot of the big debris that finds its way into the lake at the start of each year has been 'discovered' and hauled out.

I think we are ready to say boating season is here, just not ready to say swimming season is yet!
