Trying to reason with tourism season.

I took this picture around mid-May and thought it might be a bad omen.  By the way, that’s a snapping turtle looking inside the entrance of our shop.  He had to hike up the entire wheelchair ramp to get to this point.  He was still standing there when I had to leave so I lassoed his shell and pulled him out of the way so I could close the door.

Fortunately, business has been good.  My banker told me yesterday that June is a little soft with rental home reservations but July and August are slam-packed.

Next Monday night we plan to start our weekly SUP races.  Come out and watch or grab a board and tag-along.

Also, we just got our inflatable SUPs in.  Made by Sevylor these “boards” are amazingly stiff and light.  They come with a pump and a backpack which also has a place to strap on your paddle.  The $650 price should make it more affordable for people to get in to the sport.
