For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

For the love of Mary....... Memorial Day weekend and I had to pull the Mustang off the lift. Lake has gone up at least 6-8 inches since we installed the dock and battled the lifts in extremely deep water. And we are supposed to get a bunch more rain this weekend. The windshield was half an inch from hitting the canopy frame with me in the boat. Any significant wave, such as the beast my Pythonboat puts out would lift it and toss it within the lift. I will need to get a team together, move the lift closer in, and change the legs around... Water temp is fine, probably mid 60's guessing.
I moved on to the lake 13 years ago today, and have never seen the water anywhere near this high. Could be worse, and I shouldn't complain, but geez.... |

Feeling your pain Mike. Due to vehicle engine work the only boat trip I saw this weekend was a trip down Minnehaha creek in a nine foot kayak with my 6 year old daughter. Nearly swamped in the current from all the rain. Still had fun.

Just so everyone does not think minnesota is a frozen tundra all year round, Temp today at Mpls/StPaul Int airport 103 degrees, with humidity to boot. That has to be 125 degree temp swing from 5 months ago.How long will it last? Forever I hope.
