All too often, we at Wayzata Marine begin to see attendance on the water dwindle after July 4th…but why? Even now, in late July, there’s plenty of boating season left. Despite 15+ weekend days, a huge upcoming holiday, and record high summer temps, many people seem to be throwing in the towel, or working too hard!

Well, we wanted to remind you, summer is in full-swing, right here, right now; and, we want you to take advantage of that. Slap on some sunscreen, pack up the cooler, baggy up a couple sandwiches and let’s get back on the lake!

Because, a few months down the road you might be kicking yourself about not having taken in every last drop of the sun’s warming rays…or about how not for another 6 months will you bathe in MN’s warm waters…or about how the previous sand between your toes has now changed to blistering cold snow. Okay, okay, maybe we’re being a little too rough painting these vivid pains of winter, but the point is we should take advantage of this awesome summer!

Just like the Fonz, you need to jump that shark and get on the boat…Alright, that doesn’t make any sense, we just really like the picture we found…Nevertheless, you and your family deserve time on the water—there’s plenty of time for work and the whatnot’s in October and November.

This is a time for fun and family, a time for party, a time for summer, a time for boating!

Like we said before, the summer is nowhere near its end. So let’s soak up some vital vitamin-D and get out on the water!

The Crew At Wayzata Marine

With the summer heat and shining sun, we decided to throw a little Wayzata Marine company BBQ the other day (which turned out to be a great idea). Seriously, can you think of anything better than sitting out by Lake Minnetonka grilling burgers?

While the service department was offline for just under one hour, everything went smoothly over our “team building” lunch. It served as a great way to build camaraderie and brainstorm ideas about how to further incorporate you guys into the summer fun.

Having a blast ourselves, we concluded that it might be entertaining to do something similar for our customers, and their family and friends—bringing “Marina Days” to life.

That’s right, Marina Days! Well…it’s actually just one day (Saturday the 16th, 11am-4pm), but “Days” sounds cool. Our customers will be invited to attend our free BBQ to hangout around the marina…however, mingling amongst the crowd is not necessarily the only activity. We encourage you to partake in a fun photo competition, via facebook. So bring some boating adventure stories and your cameras/smart phones.

How does it work?

Okay, what’s going to happen is all/any participants (if they desire) can upload/post their favorite boating image to our facebook page and then vote on their favorite photo by ‘liking’ the post. The rules are pretty lax so use whatever resources you desire—friends, family members, etc. So long as you have a great picture, winning the water tube really depends on how well you can organize a few folks to ‘like’ your picture-masterpiece. Most ‘likes’ = winner, and the winner will be chosen 6/23/12, Good Luck!

We are looking forward to seeing all of our customers there!
