Yes it is this bad.
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. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/drou...els/57173108/1 |

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. |

We've had plenty of rain in Florida this summer. I'll try harder to send some in your direction. http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/Current.aspx?location=USFL0438&animate=true |

Wow, it's going from the Gulf to the Atlantic. It's going the wrong way! I repositioned the map you posted, Wayne. If you make a triangle from STL (St. Louis MO)- MTO (Mattoon IL) and EVV (Evansville IN), We're somewhere in the middle. We're a bit water challenged here at the moment. http://www.intellicast.com/National/...spx?region=spi |

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! |

We were in St. Louis this Saturday and crossing the 'bridge' you could see the barges on the banks of the "Mighty Miss." almost as if they had been beached. There's a couple public landings in view when crossing the river on I-64 that are usually crammed full of trucks and boat trailers. I think we counted 5 in one and 3 in another. Mostly short single axle types, which would indicate small, shallow draft fishing boats. |
