Nostalgia in Naples

Here are a few images that a dear friend gave to us last Summer that we thought that we would share with you.

Winter Wonderland Redux :: Spring in two weeks!

Hard to imagine that the lake may be swimmable in sixty days considering that the ice is more than three feet thick in some places and this is our parking lot on March 1, 2008! That's the kids standing on a 10' snow bank.

2008 Ice Fishing Derbyfest Recap

Congratulations to the winner of the Sebago Lake Chamber of Commerce Cold Cold Cash 50/50 raffle that totaled:

$5263.00

Many thanks to all of our Guest's for making the 2008 Sebago Lake Ice Fishing Derby a huge success for Camp Sunshine, the Rotary, the Maine Children's Cancer Program and the other charities that the event supports. Please ask us how you can reserve your spot with us next year!

Some parting notes for the Fishing:

For those of you that fish with the Moon...this year's Derby was at or near a full moon and occurred during a period of relative closeness to a full lunar eclipse. The result: little or no fish activity.

A look ahead: Next year's Derby will be held during a new moon. This is believed to be the phase of the moon in which fish feed voraciously. If you want to check it out, go to the Virtual Reality Moon Phase Simulator on the U.S. Navy's website at: http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/vphase.html
