Lost Paddle on Clearwater Beach, Tiny Township

Lost a paddle! 
It's got a silver shaft & a white plastic end! It was on our dock & blew away in the wind on Sunday. 
Who knows, it could be half way to Midland right now but keep an eye out for it please :) 

If found leave a comment on here I will contact the cottage that lost it and arrange a pick up or drop off.

Thanks

Join us on holiday Mondays from 6:00 to 8:30am for the CBC's On The Dock with Megan Thomas.

On CBC One. Great show focusing on life at the cottage. A great show to listen to as the sun is rising over the Island

Tech Support Phone Scams

Warning Warning
Just got a call from "Windows Technical Support" on the Cottage Phone. This is a SCAM.

I am guessing they are working through the numbers in this area. Microsoft does not call you up because they think you have a problem with your computer.
