Winding down the marina season

The marina closes October 15, but business has been very slow since Labor Day. Once the kids are back in school the lake is used mostly by fishermen – and now duck hunters. But very few pontoon rentals. So a day at the marina consists of minor chores and hours of reading, doing Sudoku and surfing the ‘net.

But there are still moments when the lake is beautiful. When the wind dies down and the sun is low in the sky or a storm passes by and a rainbow appears… the beauty is nearly breathtaking. At those times the job is not boring at all.
