| On May 11 we launched the
aircraft at Howey
bay. I had to taxi through the ice a few times
to break it up a
bit and then take off. link to video of takeoff |
 |
| On May 12 we went to
Unnamed Lake to get it
ready for the first group of fishermen. The
picture to the right
was taken on our return to Red Lake. Howey
bay still has a
large area of ice. |
 |
|
We had
a short window to get Unnamed ready
for the Crabb party leaving Greens May 14 |
 |
The next day at Red Lake. The weight of the snow is actually enough to sink the airplane. I removed the snow several times. |
 |
Meanwhile at Unnamed lake the Crabb crew forged ahead with their shore lunch. |
 |
| On May 17 we flew to Monroe
Lake to get it
ready for the first fishermen. The snow was
melting and I carried
the portage motor for West Lake across the portage. |
 |
| We
arrived at Goose Lake on May 18.
We had to get the motors from their winter storage
area
in the service building |
 |
| May 27 at Nechigona
Lake the Schlack crew helped get the ramp and boats
ready. |
 |
| By June 23 the threat of
frost was over and
Louise planted her flowers. |
 |
| On July
6 we started construction of a new floating dock for
Goose Lake. Then
the rain started to really get serious |
 |
| By August 12/09 the water
at Goose Lake
peaked. Yes, the entire barrier around the end
of the fixed dock
is under water. |
 |
| August 22 we built a new
floating dock at
Whitelaw Lake. |
 |
| Our summer was very wet and the insects had
their best year ever. Fortunately fishing was
great
(see the 2009 Tremolo for
who caught what.) |
See
our online photos site for pictures |
| The rains ended in early
September and the
weather was great for September, October and November We cut firewood for next year and closed up camp by September 27 |
 |
| Howey Bay froze over on December
4/09. Early December weather was very cold with
little snow so
the ice is off to a great start. |
 |
| February 15/10 we are finally on
vacation in Cozumel. Phone calls automatically
call forward to us
here and we are always checking emails. Yes,
Louise is an
experienced scuba diver. We dive with our friend
Freddy Contreras
at Mestizo Divers. Please check Freddy out at http://mestizodivers.com/ |
 |
| We like to go to Cozumel for
carnival. There are 3 parades, the biggest one
was Tuesday night
Feb. 16. The parade was an hour and a half long
but it took 2
hours because one of the floats caught fire and the
strong winds spread
the fire to the thatched roof of Senior Frogs. See
the video here |
 |
| February 21/10 we went on a Lion Fish hunt loonhaunt.com/mestizo |

| March 26/10 We are back in Red Lake. Hope you enjoyed the diving adventures from link above |  We took this picture of Howey Bay on Monday March 22/10 the snow is gone. On Wednesday we received a couple of inches of snow and the temperature dropped to 10 below. It should warm up by Monday. |
