Happier Days – This is me – Peter – in 2008

Peter fishing

I’ve been in a cast for over 5 weeks … with a ruptured achilles tendon.  It has been a real challenge to stay “sane” while sitting with my foot up in the air.

Here is a picture of me in happier times, in my Geisler, fishing … great thoughts … I can’t do any type of sports for at least a year, so fishing is my friend for 2009.  I just love these wood boats … too much maintenance, but beautiful for fishing …

Diamond Key Lodge – New Windows in 2008

Last year, we replaced all the windows in the main lodge and the cabin … a big job, but it has made a huge difference …

We re-painted the famous Diamond Key.  You can see it from the sky, and see it from a distance.  Behind, is cabin #3, a typical cabin.  Last year, we replaced all the windows and the cabins now have a nice clean look.

Fred at B.B.Q. - 2008 - Georigian Bay

Here is Fred … we have a big tournament coming up the 1st of May and our communal B. B.Q. will be put to good use …  it was a big hit last year and everyone enjoyed it … but watch out … it is propane … and can get very hot.

Fred is the B.B.Q. king …

Sanger Family – 2008 – boys and dad – fishing georgian bay style

Maggie and David just love the Sanger clan.  Nothing better than the sound of laughing boys – also, love the life jackets.    

This is a good shot of the inside of the new Lund.  The split seat configuration is nice, and they are wider than the Geisler boats.  We’ve ordered flat floors for 2009 – so that the are easier for walking or standing.

I love the 4 stroke engines, but still prefer the wood boats.

Family Day – August 2008 – kids, swimming, fishing, shore lunch …

Now this was a perfect day.  We went as a group.  While some of the kids went exploring on the rocks, we went fishing.  Caught a really nice bass and a walleye, back to back.  Brought them back, and had a shore lunch.  Nothing better than a shore lunch with kids.  Even though our kids don’t always eat fish, when you give them fresh fish in a batter … baaam … the plate is empty.  They eat is all.   No complaints on our side.  

Mark is 6 ‘ 5″, so these were bigger than the look.

Then, they went for a swim and jumped off rocks … great day.
