[Skipper of the Sea Que]

I did not notice a lack of boats on the lake last week. I did see a lot of boat traffic and people at anchor or rafting. I can't argue with the aerial photos and, overall, it seemed like the Launch Boat and Park Car places were not overflowing as in previous years. It did seem like fewer overall. I remember, not many years ago, there were huge traffic jams just to get to or past the Weirs (by car or motorcycle) on a good weekend. Not lately. I wonder why.

I did notice an increase in "the wave" while on the water. When my children were younger they would feel slighted if they waved and there was no wave back from the other boat. I always try to wave or make some positive gesture.

Here's a picture of the boats at anchor, mid week by the Silver Sands swim line in Sanders Bay. An example of what trfour was saying. More boats anchoring closer to home port than cruising and burning gas.
