Going down the chair lift at Bohemia yesterday. Awesome!
We like to recommend this ride every fall. Totally worth it! 😎

Last weekend we celebrated with these beautiful people! Phoenix and Tyson shared vows, and a batch of well dressed relatives, for a party to remember! The handsome groom is the great great grandson of the man who first developed this land and built the first docks here! Charlie Kauppi and a few generations of ancestors were smiling down from Heaven on that day!
To years of health and happiness 🥂
May blessings rain down on you for the rest of your days! ☀️

There are few things better than gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers. Whether you love them around a campfire, in the oven, or even in the microwave, today is the perfect excuse to enjoy this classic treat!

Tell me... what's your perfect s'more?
🤎 Classic milk chocolate

The live music has started! BJ Gariepy is playing tunes for the guests. So, even more reasons to come on over to the marina for a dinner and a visit. Tap your toe, or dance your heart out. We’d love to see you. 🎼💃🏽😎
Plans are to serve dinners until 9 p.m. (Last year the fish dinners ran out early, but this year more food was ordered, so all systems are a go. Bring your appetite!) 🐟👨🏻‍🍳🍴

The Fish Fry is on!!! Trout and whitefish dinners are now being served!! (And are getting rave reviews!)
The sun is out and the picnic tables are ready. Come by to say “Hello,” and enjoy your own plate dinner, with friends, by the water.
The Annual Fishing Tournament had 18 teams head out in the early morning fog today. Results will be shared in a later post.

A very fun day! Eight years ago, the boat was launched off the semi trailer at Pinquaming. That rig was too big to cross the bridge here. So, Bob brought it across Keweenaw Bay to the Dockside marina. It was a perfect day for boating!
(Andy T. was helping out as usual. We surely miss him.)
