Is it still low?? Around here in NC the lakes are briming. Kerr is like 5
or 6 feet over pool and the Corp is letting water out of the rest to keep
them from being too high.

It's down but not as bad as it was. 15 feet isn't terrible in Lanier,
it's deep. Hope we get up more before the end of summer.

That's surprising as much rain as there has been in the se generally. I'm
thinking we're not too many weeks from the start of the drier summer weather
so it better hurry up. Then again they are calling for a more active
hurrican season and it only takes one of those to fill up a lot of lakes.

POWERBOAT use on Charleston Harbor was down a lot more than 50%. *The
sailboaters rejoicing so loud is kinda disgusting....(c;

Even up the river at my house there was almost no waterskiing going on. *
Jetski use was also much less on the Ashley River at Charleston.


With the cost of gasoline, middle income folks with 20 something
footers have to decide between 10 trips to the water, and the week at
the cottage/trip to disney... Many are choosing the vacation over the
boat. BTW, I am going to try to build a Brockway if my health holds
out. I will let you all know when it goes on sale, you all have first
dibs... My boats use an average of 2 to 10 gallons a day
