In like a lion… March has arrived, and with it, mighty winds. And a quick trip to the Straits to see the ice that has collected along the shore. Even in the fog and dwindling daylight, the ice is captivating. If anyone would like to highlight a photo or two, send it and a short paragraph to: support@lelandreport.com OR… Read more »
(Report by Jim) The Old Art Building is currently decorated with some fabulous ice sculptures. Mark Smith got a great one with the sun rising behind it. Thanks to Kathleen Snedeker and Mark Smith for allowing me to use these. They all look great with the last snow that fell around them. Go take a look! I’m waiting for the… Read more »
(Report by Jim) I was looking for some ice boats today to run the drone over but none of the boats were sailing this afternoon. Instead, I took it up to the top of Whaleback and got the sun setting against the shoreline. I never tire of that view. It’s very clear how little ice has accumulated along the shore… Read more »
(Report by Jim) I read someone spotted a sunken sailboat in Nedows Bay so I headed out at lunch to see if I could find it with the drone, but no luck. I think it was a red herring!

You might have noticed a break in the Report over the last week. Keith is getting over a bout of pneumonia and cleaning up some leaking… Read more »
There is something magical about a glass-calm winter’s day. It might not stay calm, but the reflection along the water becomes rather pronounced. I believe we are off to a “normal” (school-in-session) Monday.Â
We were invited to visit the work being done at Falling Waters and were impressed. The rooms have been upgraded and exterior structural work now being done bringing the lodge in first class condition for this seasons opening. Â
It was a cloudy beginning to what turned out to be a perfect afternoon with temperature in the 60’s and sunny sky.
It was a banner weekend up north! Shipping traffic on the Manitou Passage is back. Ever wonder which ship or freighter or tug you’re seeing, way off in the distance? My go-to website for that info is ais.boatnerd.com. Have a great and sunny Monday. Â
