Today I went down to the lovely boat harbor and watched as all the boats came and went out into the lake. How soothing it is to sit on this bench and watch because there are so many different sizes and shapes of boats out there. Cruisers and sailboats each one different and each beautiful to watch as they glide across the water.
It will not be to long that these boats will be taken out and put away for the winter. Then the docks will be empty and the harbor deserted until the ice forms on the lake and all the ice fishermen come out, It is way to cold for me to come down to see them fishing, but I did venture out here one year and they had huts all over the ice and having a great time. So this harbor is busy in all the seasons. In spring, the boaters are anxious to get their boats into the water as early as possible. I love to come down and watch the different happenings as the seasons change. The park itself is a rainbow of colors for each season.
Many people are taking their boats out now. It is still early. They dont have to be out until the 15th of October. Then you have the die hards and they leave theirs in after that date and have to pay $5.00 extra for each day they leave their boat in the water. But by the end of October they all have to be out because they take up the docks and close down the marina for the year.
I am enjoying this day as it is nice and sunny and warm. There is music being piped from the adjoinging restaurant at the marina and you can enjoy listening to it as you sit and look out at the water.
today I am going to have my lunch here and sit outside with my plate and cup of joe and enjoy this the last hurrah for summer.
