How do you get to the island when the ice is thin?

It is that time of year, winter has certainly started.  The most common question our guests ask about living on the island is,  "How do you get back and forth when the ice is too thin for walking?"  Answer, we keep a boating channel open.  The current snow build up prevents the ice from getting thicker, fast.  In the mean time we just keep breaking the channel open throughout the day, fun stuff.  Have a great Thanksgiving.  

End of the Season Blues

We have closed for 2010, but are looking forward to the 2011 season. The Fall weather has been great.  We have a good start on our spring projects and are looking forward to winter renovations.  The down side to all of this is the lack of guests on the island.  Kirby has been forced to spend more time with his only winter companion, Marina the cat.
