Title: Here we go again
Post by: jotruk on November 30, 2015, 09:20:53 AM
well it looks like this rain for the past week has the lake raising steadily and I cant get to my boat because of high water. We have one boat on my dock that has sunk and another that is very low in the water not good. I guess the best part is that we really needed rain just not this much at once.

Well yet again we are getting a major flood and can't get to the boat. The corp of engineers are saying we could be looking at 21 foot above normal. This is getting old already.

Well the corps of engineers opened the lake and I got to go to my boat for the first time in over a month. there was only about 4 inches in bilge and no other problems other than a wasp nest and that is gone now. I will probably  look at moving the boat later this year. Right now I am looking farward to getting under way and just enjoying the boat for a little while.

Well can't get to the boat again the corp has closed everything down and the lake is 5.5 ft above where it should be. so no sailing for a while yet.

Well I'm going to get to go to my boat tomorrow. I am looking forward to it. I want to get a little work done on it and cleaned up. Just hope no more heavy rain until I can move it.
