Here's a really good reason why I haven't attempted to go boating this
year.

Lakes and rivers are too low for comfort. Not much more disgruntling
than snagging a lower end on rocks or a stump.

That sucks...our only problem here on the coast is launching at low
tide on most ramps.
I did find one in St Margaret's Bay that is actually better at low
tide because of the slope of the ramp.
This year I broke down and bought the Govt issued Tide book for the
Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. It supplements the tide clock I have
mounted just inside the front door of the house.
