Not what they meant by "on the rocks"

In the "new days" of electronics, it doesn't matter if the marker is there. The GPS position on your chartplotter hasn't changed, and the rocks haven't moved. However, we're still in the "early days" where debris is all over, and hasn't been blown to shore and then left high and dry as the lake level drops. Keep your eyes outside the cockpit!

Thank you to all the shorefront folks who collect branches, logs, etc and prevent them from drifting off to be chewed up by a prop or to chew up a prop. You all perform a great service that goes unrecognized.

Indeed! On the web cam I saw someone's swim raft free floating in Wolfeboro Bay.
