Happy Sunday! Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman. It’s the Dog Days of Summer! We refer to the uncomfortably hot, sultry days of summer as the ‘Dog Days’ of Summer.

Happy Saturday! Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman. Our 20-year old pontoon got a refresh, with new upholstery, vinyl flooring and an exterior wrap. Ta-da!

Happy Saturday! Here’s a little weekend waterview from Lake Norman. We’re happy to be boating again after a fuel line issue. We were almost boating in May, but like a lot of things these days, parts and service are harder to come by! We enjoyed a little boating time over the Fourth of July holiday…
