Was The Lake Cleaner This Year?

Hello All,

During this season of boating, my wife & I remarked that the water visibility seemed to be clearer in shallow areas. The same places we've anchored for years as well as going through the Weirs Channel and even in our slip just seemed to be clearer.

I went to the marina yesterday to bring my boat home for the winter. I was standing 20' from the boat when the Lift-All raised the boat out of the water to be bottom washed. I immediately noticed that the hull was noticeably cleaner that in years past!

I remarked to the marina folks about this and a few also remarked that the boat hulls seem to be cleaner this year. Do you think the reduction in boat traffic this season had an impact? What about all the rain early in the season? Just curious ......

P.S. Special thanks to the guys at Lakeport Landing for going out of their way to accommodate and help me yesterday. It's always appreciated!
