Fall colors cruise

It was a splendid day on October 12, 2008 for our "last nice day" cruise. Clear blue skies, 60 degree temps and prime pops of color throughout the lake, as evidenced by the picture below.

We had a great group of "stowaways" onboard and Jess Isakson along with Grady Newman shared in Captain duties.

We were aboard the Mahogany Bay flagship "POSH", while another group took advantage of riding aboard our 1972 30' Lyman with Captain Todd Warner at the helm. My son Shane thought that POSH was the "coolest boat ever"... "this is just awesome" -high praise coming from an 11 year old.

Everyone on board thouroughly enjoyed all the great food provided (and hand-made!) by Savannah Bortner, with maybe a little bit of help from dad Dave. Now that we have Cisco the office dog, our future cruises may even include a mascot!
Hard to believe that will be our last cruise until, dare I say it... next (lets hope for) April!!

End of Season...

You know we're nearing the end of the Minnesota boating season when Mahogany Bay starts to haul out its own boats!

This morning was the end of the 2008 season for our flagship, POSH.

We hauled her out of the water and loaded her onto the trailer, and will begin prepping her for winter storage this afternoon.

Should you need your boat hauled out and stored for the winter, give us a call (952.495.0007)

Cisco

We have a new staff member in the office at Mahogany Bay...

Meet Cisco, Dave's new yellow lab from Sunnyview Labradors in Salem, Oregon.

So far, he's managed to distract us from work and provide lots of entertainment...

Oh Danny Boy

The first annual Mahogany Bay Preservation award for the best preserved original boat at the ACBS International Show went to "O Danny Boy", a 1929 26' Chris-Craft belonging to Bernie and Carol Atkinson of Lake Tahoe... and we finally have a photo!

Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam is my new favorite boat. It's a 1955 29' Chris-Craft Sportsman, and is currently for sale. Jess took us out for a spin yesterday - here's some highlights.
