We survived the Labor Day weekend onslaught of campers. There were close to a thousand people in the campground and most were nice -- some were rude -- but at least the campground was never noisy. We finally saw some nice walleyes that were caught by a group of campers staying here. We got some great pointers on how to catch them. They actually troll in water very deep to shallow 20 to 90 feet -- very different than in Minnesota. So we put in an order from Cabelas to get a few new supplies that will help us catch them the way they do it here.
The pictures I am showing are of the equipment and rock that was brought by barge to Egg Harbor. The citizens of Egg Harbor voted to repair and expand their marina to the tune of 6.5 million dollars. They will be tearing down the old pier (in the front of the picture) and pouring rock for a new one. They will be adding five times as many slips for boats and they already have them filled. People are on waiting lists for years around here to get a slip.
While the tugs were getting the barges pushed into place in the harbor there were all kinds of pleasure boats cruising around them. It was still a busy day on the water Labor Day. The weather was perfect and there was hardly any wind so it was perfect for boating. We did hear that the Coast Guard was searching the waters off of one of the islands for a body. Someone had fallen overboard and they were searching and of course there were many boats out watching the proceedings.
