Mid-summer update

The 4th of July has passed and we’re now enjoying great summer weather at the lake. Thanks to everyone for their conscientious boating over the 4th. The lake can get pretty crowded and safe boating practices then become even more critical.

We’re now in the season when we can get torrential rain. Mayo Lake is on a large watershed, so the lake level can quickly rise to the point where docks become submerged. If that should happen, please keep your boat wakes to a minimum!

I’m pleased to report that our loon family continues to prosper! They safely avoided the heavy boat traffic on the weekend of the 4th, and probably more importantly, the eagles. The chick is now diving for longer periods of time, so hopefully can avoid eagle attacks.
