New construction at Port Vandemere

Thursday October 30, 2008
I was surprised when we arrived at Port Vandemere, after being away exhibiting at the boat shows, how much has happened and I made a list of few things that need to be done. Port Vandemere is alive with dump trucks and dozers. Our little community is starting to take shape […]

Hot Summer Days

Tuesday June 11, 2008
Whew! We’ve had quite a week of way above average temperatures. But considering what some of you in the mid west have been going through I’ll take it without complaints. We’ve been using the boat a fare share but even a nice dip in the water is only a brief respite to […]

Marina Plans Submitted!

Monday April, 28 2008
Yes its finally submitted. We got a call from Roger over the weekend saying that the lengthy EA (environmental assessment) was completed and he was taking it down to Wilmington on Monday, today. After so many delays, mostly caused by just ordinary things, engineers having root canals, flue season, companies re-organizing, […]

Finally, Sunny Days and Water Lines

Wednesday April 15, 2008
Well the sun finally came out Friday and but for a brief rain on Sunday and Monday looks to be here to stay. With temperatures looking to hit 80 this weekend I think I can finally store the sweaters and pants until fall. I took a hike around Vandemere yesterday to see […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

I’ve been a bit tardy with my writing over the last 10 days. The weather has been so perfect outside that after a long day of bookeeping, meetings, and phone calls I’ve decided to spend my evenings in the garden doing some spring cleaning. I’m heading out to the job site this evening and will […]

Note from Pete & Susan Rollins, Royal Shoal Lane has gravel

Royal Shoal Lane has a nice new coat of gravel. This part of Port Vandemere is really starting to come together.

Monday Feburary 25, 2008
Seems like most of this weekend was spent plodding away at the computer. Website, accounting, trying to repair Windows Vista (still trying to do that). I did however do a walk through […]

Note from our Contractor, new blog in process

Tuesday February 19, 2008
Over the next week I will be converting the blog over to ‘Wordpress’! This will give us increased functionality, the ability to make comments, categorize and allow me to expand my range of subjects. So keep checking back to see our new Port Vandemere blog take shape! I got a note from […]

Pond is finished.

February 5, 2008
Its been a glorious few days here in Vandemere, sunshine, daffodils in bloom, birds all a chatter…I am very pleased to announce that we have more waterfront at Port Vandemere. Left, is our almost finished pond! Look really closely and you can see Thomas at the other end. I have to say it […]
