September 1, 2023:

             Warm temperatures give us the promise of a beautiful fall as September rolls in with mid 70 degree weather and the occasional rain shower. While we enjoy fall boating, it is time to start winter preparations and making arrangements for haul-out.

             While prepping for winter, please be a mindful neighbor by securing ladders, coiling cords and hoses, and keeping the walkways clear. All of our forms can be found on our website at: www.barkers-island-marina.com/forms  or at either marina office.

The Fray in the Bay is taking place on Saturday September 9th! This yearly regatta takes place in Superior Bay with a party afterwards, this is open to all to attend the race and the after party. A great place to watch this race is anchored out by the Duluth Aquarium. If you would like to register for the race or purchase meal tickets please call the Ship Store at 715-392-7131. Meal tickets are limited to the first 200 people. 

The Ship Store is having an end of year sale September 1 – 17! Get your favorite items before the season is over!

If you’re considering listing your boat for sale now is the time! We can take great photos of your boat in the sunshine and the water to help showcase your vessel. Sell your boat over the winter and get into another one by spring just in time for the next boating season. Give John Hoenig a call today to talk about listing your boat 715-392-7131.

There’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy the lake, let’s make the most of it!

Happy Boating!

Sincerely,

Eric Thomas & All the Crew at Barker’s
