Last week we were talking about making waves, riding them and even getting air. By coincidence, yesterday we were working with a guy who likes air so much he kite boards. We don't often get big wind here, but we've seen kite boarders in other places take air 30' or more. The adrenaline of watching [...]

Winter's so long, we celebrate summer in unforgettable ways. Ask anyone who grew up cottaging - whether rented or owned - and summer is a main part of memory [...]

MarketWATCH Muskoka: March 20, 2019 The last couple of weeks have cleared snow from sidewalks, driveways and lawns in most of the Golden Horseshoe. We were there on Sunday and heard robins singing.

MarketWATCH Muskoka: 12 March 2019 There's an old saying about March "In like a lion, out like a lamb" the reverse is also true. In essence it's saying March will begin or end with a storm. We've certainly had lots of storms lately, so another won't be a surprise. A couple of weeks ago the [...]
