After a winter of sharing about the ice on the Great Sacandago Lake, I'm happy to report that the ice is gone! <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
Unfortunately the lake is holding alot of extra water right now and if goes up another 3 feet osmepneo will float of her cradle. I went to the marina to get ob on the motor bracket this weekend and to get osmepneo uncovered so I could start getting ready for splash. The high lake water means I don't get any access to her until the water drops. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> Maybe we'll get in by September!

I feel for you Don. It's so frustrating to have sailing weather and no way to take out the boat...we spent 2 months last year with a similar problem. Derek

Don,
Send some of that water to Lake Erie because I'm having the opposite problem. With the recent low water levels here, I have to wait for the dredging to be completed before I can get in and out of the marina.
Don, I went up Sunday to pay the other half of my dockage fees, I am sure you have a better feel for how high the lake is by having a residence there. At Park Marine Base the docks are in but you can't launch anywhere because the boat launches that I seen are under water by quite a bit. The ice only went out of the shielded bays on Easter Sunday in Northville. I anticipate Memorial Day Weekend for splashing. It is frustrating when we have such a short season to begin with. I guess it is better than "low" water. Hope to see you down by your club this year. "Bear" on the hard driveway ready to splash.
