Sunday morning, March 17, 2013, I was enjoying the sunny but cool weather while I pruned roses on the bulkhead. I noticed a couple of kayakers put their boats in the water and noted that they headed toward Stretch Island. About 30 minutes later I decided to take a break and have some lunch. I noticed a message on my machine [...]

Snowstorms and other news!

The snow was coming down at Fair Harbor last week and we were on the docks shoveling! As beautiful as the snow is, we dread the forecast for 8-10 inches. That much snow is very heavy and sinks the docks and covered moorage, compromising our electrical system and possibly collapsing the roofs of [...]

The winter ducks have arrived and are enjoying our little piece of heaven. However, they are not finding it as peaceful and quiet as years past, due to the construction on the new Treasure Island bridge. The contractor is doing a great job and there has been minimal noise and inconvenience to the neighborhood.

What are those red jellyfish??

Many of you have been asking me about the red jellyfish that are showing up in great numbers in our local waters. I have done a little research and found that they are called “Lion’s Mane Jellyfish.” They are native to the cold artic waters where they grow the largest, sometimes reaching 8 feet across the [...]

Visiting Orcas

This past weekend will go down as one of the most memorable of the summer and for the lucky ones, perhaps of a lifetime. The sun was shining and it was 84 degrees but the really incredible part was the pod of orcas that put on a show all weekend. Apparently, this was a pod [...]

Miscellaneous News…but very important!

As the summer winds down here at Fair Harbor, the excitement is also waning. But I do have a few items to report. The Water and Art Festival was a huge success raising nearly $11,000.00 for community outreach programs and scholarships. Kudos to all the volunteers who make this possible, especially the North Mason Cheerleaders [...]

Summer is finally here…the clams are going wild!

susan@fairharbormarina.com — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:10:00 +0000

Now that the sun has come out and warmed up the water, the native manilla clams are beginning their seasonal spawn. I have been waiting and watching for this event every summer for years. It is fascinating to see the milky white layer form in the shallow water along the shore when the conditions (temperature, [...]

This may seem like an odd title but it is the perfect description of the Water Festival and the essence of why we helped co -found this summer event. I intended to write about the Water Festival this week and remind everyone that the big event will be held this Saturday, July 30th from 10am – [...]
