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.

I wish we were that lucky, Don. There's no such things as tides here,
and if there was, one side of the lake would rise leaving the other
side bone dry.

LOL!
