BLIND BAY, B.C. — You might say it’s a typical May long weekend. The weather has been cloudy, cool and rainy. 

At Shuswap Lake Marina all of Saturday’s boat rentals were canceled. 

Owner, Lorraine Seys says it hasn’t been a good weekend for getting out on the lake. 

“It’s been pretty slow,” she said. “It’s been quite miserable down on the lake. If you’re off the lake, yesterday was actually quite nice in the afternoon if you were somewhere out of the wind, but the wind is really chilly. And yesterday the lake was whitecaps almost all day long.”
