I wasn’t really meaning over near Dollar. Should have said in the area nearer Camp Nokomis — North of Bear but more in the middle of the island. If you draw a line between Dollar Island and the...

A few other thoughts.
1). Parking at Sheps (Goodhue Meredith). The public parking fills up early during the peak season…. I came in last Thursday PM and there wasn’t an open spot anywhere. Not sure what advice Sheps...

Fireworks
First of all, it was off Mark Island, not Mink :)
And there were maybe 20 boats in the general area that watched it. Two passing boats even asked me what was up and then hung around. So even...

Ice Fishermen
Hate to say it but some ice fisherman are known to dump their empties down a hole. That’s why they’re so concentrated in one location…. Just my 2cents. Doesn’t damn all ice fisherman. I am one...

LLoyds
Lloyd’s is where we ended up a few years ago when our prior insurer (where we were bundling all our business), dropped us on the island homeowners. Needless to say, we moved all or other business….

Black plastic pipe diameter
I use 1-1/4 inch (O.D.), which is typical, I believe. So 1” connectors.
The foot valve would certainly be a first thing to check, especially if you don’t hold the prime if you turn the pump...

Weather and opening
By mid-April you’re fine. Even if it drops below freezing briefly overnight, it would take a sustained cold snap to put pipes at risk. If you are at all worried, leave a few taps dribbling when...
