The Hazy Days of Summer…
The weekend brings a shift in the wind and a hopeful departure of Canadian haze,
It has been a cloudy and hazy week as Canadian and northern US wildfires have blanketed our area with a cloudy haze. Fortunately for us the winds of change are arriving.
Starting today the wind direction goes southeast which will help push some unwanted smoke back over the boarder and hopefully provide us with sun and a flat lake,
To help the situation, some overnight rain is also on the way. Followed by south winds again Saturday.
So fret not, their is always opportunity to get your crew out on the lake to enjoy some fishing, swimming, or just relaxing with nature.
Just a short walk from us, downtown will be Main Street Vermilion’s market in the park if you’re looking for some interesting knick knacks or just a pleasant stroll.
Not to mention a great variety of food from all of our restaurants in town.
We hope to see you dockside!
