St. Patties Day Follies!

Hard to believe that today is St. Pat's Day! It's unseasonably warm here, may get to 65 degrees! We saw our first freighter of the season coming up lake last Sunday. There have been numerous fishing boats trolling just in front of our house the past few days and we are seeing a ton of bird migration. You would think Spring has sprung...maybe it has! We are just itching to uncover our "bird" - Free Bird that is, but common sense is telling us to just wait a bit yet. We have already uncovered Windjammin' in an effort to start getting her ready for sale. We'll have to force ourselves to focus on her first and then we can let Free Bird out of her cage.

We have our first guest at Cedar Shores Lodge this year. Our B Dock friend, Tom of Lily's Pad is staying with us while he is in town to work on shining up his boat.

Hope you are having as wonderful, warm and sunny day as we are. May the luck of the Irish be with you!

  1. We finally started doing some boat work yesterday. The temp was 63 degrees so went to the boat yard to do a little fiberglass repair and to start the waxing process. We'll have Windjammin ready to show in a week or so. It may be artifical exuberance but it's nice to get going on boat projects. It's great that we are right here and don't have to drive 300 miles.

    Love the new picture Sara of you and I at the maratime museum on the Peking in New York city.
