No road to Black Island. So the flagstone and the plants take the barge. Noble Roots Landscaping loaded up at our dock this morning, headed across Rice Lake.

Audrina already called dibs on the purple one. New HBW tees are in. Four colours, $20 each, sizes M to XL. In-store only. Grab yours next time you're at the marina in Gores Landing.

Last night's storm sank our own service boat right in its slip. Crew grabbed the barge and the pump, and the SeaArk was floating again before the coffee got cold. Motor never went under. All in a day's work at HBW.

First shrinkwrap of the season. In July. Somebody out there has fully given up and honestly, respect. Hudson's smiling because it's one boat. Last fall he learned what a full winterize season feels like.

Jim Harris and Tim McGill, early 90s, pulling a wooden cruiser out for the winter. Chain hoists and slings, no readouts. They just knew what she weighed.

Prom night, 1990. Cousin David Walter worked here as a teen, so before the dance we made him pose mid-wrench in his suit. Some photos age better than the motors.

Mary found a time capsule: a 1996 marine industry price sheet. Marine shop labour back then? $59/hour. A full season of dockage for a small boat? $656.50. Which 1996 price would you bring back tomorrow? #ThrowbackThursday #RiceLake

Some kids grew up at hockey rinks. I grew up at a marina. That's me, ~1981, parked behind the desk at Harris Boat Works like I had anywhere else to be. My dad grew up here too. Now my kids are doing the same thing.

Last week of April. Keys on the board, shrink-wrap coming off, phones ringing. This team doesn't stop. Small marina, everyone does everything. To every person at Harris Boat Works. Thank you. Now let's get back to work. #MarineServiceTechWeek #HarrisBoatWorks #RiceLake
