I'm not sure if I'll be able to put into the water this year. My slip at our little lake is about 6 or 7 feet deep, we were told by the irragation dept to expect the level to change 0 to 4 feet within 24 hours, without notice. That could stick me 1 or 2 feet in the mud. May just put the SolCat in the slip. But my wife said shed rather the Cat. Mat have to look into Alameda, or perhaps the Delta at Stockton.

Although our water level fluctuations aren't man made and we kind of know a day out when this will occur, every once in a while all of my four foot keel gets buried to the hilt.

I think I would refrain from leaving the rudder on the stern at that marina! Seen the pics before but they're always a treat to see again.

Don's pix are from western Lake Erie during one of their seiches, when water shifts to the other end of the lake due to a weather event--for example, westerly winds with a low pressure center to the east. It'll be correspondingly high toward the eastern end. I wonder what Niagara Falls looked like at the same time...
