| The Camp Song Kevin Closs, 1996(he says with apologies to Stan Rogers- any idea why?)
The Coleman’s burning low
So it barely casts a glow
The moon is going down
Throwing shadows on the ground
The fire has died away
And there’s nothing left to say
But before you go to sleep
There’s a promise left to keep
Chorus
Another summer’s gone
Another dusk, Another dawn
So soon we pass away
Like fallen leaves upon the bay
This summer passed so slow
At least as northern summers go
The sky was high and fine
And the night was sweet as wine
The place still needs a roof
But there was so much else to do
Like lying in the shade
Of this camp my father made
You said it was a sin
When they brought the hydro in
But now there’s no light but the moon
And it’s quiet as a tomb
Chorus
The days are getting cool
And soon the kids are back in school
The night is nearly done
And I’ve put some coffee on
So pour yourself a cup
And we’ll watch the sun come up
And dream about the day
When we come back here to stay…
Let us know if this brings back memories – I hope Kevin sees this (tried to reach him but no luck) so I can pass it all on to him. For sharing, we’ll put your name in a draw ([email protected]) for a pair of winter socks – got 3 sets to give away so there ya go…
Fall Rentals
Sea kayaks, Sups & Canoes are all just hankering for someone to take them for a spin: https://www.whitesquall.com/boat-equipment-a-shuttle-rates/
Renting from us gets you well-maintained boats and gear with our ever cheerful, unsolicited advice born from all the things we’ve done wrong over the years. Worth the price of admission right there! We will keep the fun times going til the water gets too cold – likely late October.
Boat & Gear Sale
We now have used boats & paddling gear for sale at 53 Carling Bay Road East, Nobel – the old Paddling Centre. In case you didn’t know – we’re here 6 days a week by appointment (https://calendly.com/white-squall-paddling-centre/white-squall-visit) or give us a ring at: 705-203-2955. You can also fire an email to: [email protected]
Hope Springs Eternal
We are taking 2023 orders as I type this for canoes, kayaks and sups. Supply chains are cold and tighter than a well digger’s arse, so just like the dark days these past two years – if you are longing for a new boat next spring – best to pitter patter and get at ‘er. At the moment, we can likely add a few boats on – but dunno for how long.
Dyer’s Drysuit Dilemma
Yes I ordered too many as many of you well know. Yes we’ve sold plenty. But we still have 4 brand new rascals left just waiting for their day in the sun. And there ain’t nuthin better than heading out for a late fall paddle knowing you’ll be toasty warm. I’ve got them on a huge discount to clear the deck – so here you go…
