That said, I think most boaters did get it and either left their boats at home or travelled at headway speed. All except one of the large cruisers and GFBL boats I saw were travelling at headway speed. All in all boat traffic was way down for a Memorial day weekend. So to those of you who stayed at no wake speeds or stayed off your boat, thank you. To those of you who didn't, well I hope you enjoyed yourselves.
Sandbags would have helped, right? They are temporary and the DES probably has better things to do than pick on someone for placing sandbags on shore during a flood. If not, they need a dope slap.

I agree about the lake wide NWZ. But it did not happen. Just being realistic.
