Well, just a little bit. Today was chilly, though not cold, with a little light snow this evening. The melt continued ever so slightly, and the ice on the lakes is beginning to reappear through snow. Rain and warmth forecast for later in the week, so we may yet iceboat again.

However, I did think of summer during the occasional odd moment, and thinking of summer made me think of Manitoulin, which is now participating the the new organization known as the Great Lakes Islands Coalition (GLIC)—membership open to any island in the five Great Lakes with a year-round population, however small. I will award a significant prize (something like Carl Castle's voice on your answering machine) to anyone who can name seven of them!

Anyway, one thing each island has been asked to do is contribute information and photos to what is known as the GLIC "Island Showcase." Guess who ended up having to write the Manitoulin overview?
