Calm before the storm



Although it is quite cold today, as you can see the sun is bright and the wind is calm. Our forecast for tomorrow is not so nice.....snow, sleet, freezing rain. We have been lucky so far this winter with no ice.

It has been a very busy day for reservations. I have taken 6 so far....September being the popular month. We are over 50% full for September already! The rest of the season is filling up fast as well. This is quite exciting as it is still January!

The temporary bridge is coming down slowly. Cooks restaurant has been closed for a couple weeks for renovations--opening this Friday. I will go check it out. The Bailey Island store and Giant Stairs grill have stayed open all winter. It is nice to have a few places right on the island to get a meal. Of course, Maine Street Brunswick still supports dozens of places to eat as well. Lodging and restaurant sales were up over 4% in Maine from the previous year. I think the Brunswick area has contributed more than their fair share!

Hope all is well with all of you and winter is not too harsh. We open in 73 days! Sue
