It's an exciting time of year, no visible ice in Dunhams Bay! It was a nerve-wracking few days as a northwest wind blew big slabs right at us but we avoided and major dock strikes. We had one dock to repair but luckily the team from Adirondocks got right on it, spending days in the cold water doing the repairs. Those guys earn their paychecks. Our service team was hard at work getting ice eaters positioned and physically breaking up ice as it came in to protect our docks and make sure our customers would have their spot ready in just a few weeks when boats go in. There is still ice on the main lake so we are not totally in the clear yet but with 50 degree plus temps expected over the next few days, the hope is that it thins out enough even if it moves in to our bay. While we are happy about our docks, we do feel for those who were not spared by Mother Nature this year and hope everyone can get their docks repaired quickly and can start enjoying the boating season as soon as the weather allows.

And for some, as soon as the weather allows is now as there have been some boat sightings on Lake George even in the almost freezing temperatures the last couple days! My guess is we'll see a handful out this weekend. It is hard to not get started after our long northern winters!
