ADVENTURE
BAY NEWS 2007
As
some of you already know this has been a very trying year especially
for Debbie. I had an
aortic heart valve replaced at Toronto General Hospital. I had the same operation 5
years ago along with a triple bypass and was home in 5 days after
the surgery. This time
I wasn’t that lucky.
Every thing that could have went wrong did. I went in on June
19th and came home on July 20th. I was home till July 25th
and had to return to the hospital with a collapsed lung. I eventually came home on
August 10th. I am
recovering well and putting some weight back on, I lost a total of 52 pounds
while in the hospital.
We are still dealing with the collapsed lung and a
circulation problem to my feet. We plan on addressing these
issues when we get back to the states. We want to thank everyone
that has helped out during my absence and also for all the
prayers. I truly
believe I would not have survived this ordeal without them. Once
again from the bottom of our hearts thanks
to all.
Fishing Once
again
what a year for walleye. Many fish in the six and seven pound
range. They caught them
right up to closing.
Pan fish were also caught in great numbers and running a
little bigger than normal.
Bass were as usual. A great bite and lot’s of them. Below are our yearly big
fish winners.

Passports As
of this writing passports for land travel into and out of Canada
will not be required till 2009. It is our understanding that
the feds cannot keep with the processing of passport
applications. We also
heard that children under 16 will not need them but are unable to
confirm this at this time. We will keep you informed on any new
info.
Bass
Season, 2008 We received word from
the Ministry of Natural Resources that the opening of bass season
will continue to be the 4th
Saturday in June, not the last Saturday as in the past. That means that bass season
for 2008 will open on Saturday
June 28th. For those of you involved
your reservations will reflect this.
Projects
2007 Due
to my health this year our projects were limited. We did complete a porch roof
installation on # 12 and put in a hardwood floor in # 17. Also a 40 gallon hot water
heater was installed in #11 along with replacing 3 of our central
gas barbecues.
Projects
2008 We
plan to continue our floor replacements after seeing how well the
new floor in 17 held up.
Other plans include converting #3 into a fisherman’s cottage
with 4 single beds.
There is also some work to be done on the pool due to winter
freezing the last couple of years.
Reservations For those of you who
have penciled in for next year the reservation at the bottom of the
page is filled in. As
in the past we have included envelopes to send your deposit. Deposits are now
$200.00
and
are due by February
1st,
2008.
