Random ramblings, in which I talk about geese, dry suits, and supporting your local water ski shop.

Geese

Along many private lakes, geese are the scourge of the shore. In an effort to keep docks and boats clean, we are attempting to control the goose population along the shores of Last  Chance Lakes. Listen to a number of the measures that we’ve undertaken to keep the goose population in check, including cardboard coyotes, flashing amber lights, swan decoys and a lawn spray. many products for controlling geese are available at Gempler’s.

Dry Suits

Enjoy early season skiing like it’s the middle of summer using a dry suit. A lot of cold water skiers report being as warm in their dry suits in 50° F water as they are mid-summer in their board shorts. Good dry suit options are available in the O’Neill Boost and Adrenaline Pro.

Support Local

My wife got her first set of skis this week After scouring the web for great deals on skis, I convinced her to try our local boat and ski store, Marine Products. She loved the individual attention and knowledge of the sales staff. We also got a great deal on a pair of 2012 O’Brien Flux combo skis.
