Happy weekend everyone! Unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating for us today, but it looks like it will shape up quickly around mid day tomorrow. Keep in mind, that although it is supposed to reach near 70 Sunday, that the water is still VERY COLD! Take every precaution if you are out boating to stay safe. Here is your Lake Erie Boating Forecast for the weekend of April 7-9, 2017.
We are extremely busy and we are starting to clear out the buildings for re-launch season. If you haven’t contacted Michelle yet, please do so! We would hate to see your launch time pushed back. We do not have enough hours in the day right now to get everything done, so bear with us as we get even busier.
Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly of this weekends forecast!
