Hello Friends!
Brrr! Baby, It's Cold Outside.  Anable Basin is frozen solid. Huge blocks of ice cover the beach at Hallets Cove.  Even the ferries have stopped running.
But hey, all that's gonna change. Half of winter is behind us. Days are getting longer and we've been busy preparing for our best summer yet.
There's going to be plenty of kayaking, canoeing and rowing and we hope you'll be part of that.
