I have kids out on the lake as well as in my car...glad no one is proposing abolishing speed limits on our roads and highways because of budget cuts in our police force. Or are they?  |
Being on the lake on Sunday (80+ degrees and sunny), I think we commented on the lack of boats on the water for Memorial Day weekend at least a half dozen times. From the Weir's Channel to Johnson's Cove to Robert's Cove, crossing the broads side of Rattlesnake and into the Weir's Channel, hardly any boats to speak of.
In the time from Robert's Cove to the Witches we encountered no more than 20 boats. We were traveling less than 20 into the wind and waves with the canvas up to keep the girls and kids dry, so it took us quite some time at about 5:30pm.
Everywhere we went, we noticed a severe lack of boats on the water for what was a beautiful weekend, minus the smoke.
So if Memorial Day weekend is any indicator, this is going to be a very slow boating year.
