Priceless!

Doesn't get any better than this !

Stop encouraging them, or more will come!

I was thinking the same thing about 8 pm last night when me and the boy went swimming (yep, really). What an absolutely beautiful night it was, warm, calm, and a big ol' full moon.

Thank you , Steve A, for the great photos!

We will be launching the Bears' Den after work and dining aboard w/friends...hope to beat the t-storms and enjoy the last of this wonderful weather!

Spent most of the morning on the water, well technically I still am on the water, just stopped into my friends shop(has a dock) and soon going to head home. Unfortunately I can't escape the real world all day, but if I could I would be on the Lake, its awesome today.

This morning was certainly as gorgeous as WBB claims. I rode our jetski in from the island this morning to retire it for the season and almost "forgot" my way back to the dock. Sunny, 83 degrees, flat calm and like a ghost town.

I could not believe how low the water was on our dock. I had to lift the bow and push it off the lift into the water as it was completely out.

I too was on my Jetski all afternoon.What a glorious day with temps about 90 and the water still in the high 60's.I was suprized to find more than a few boats out there on a Wednesday in late September.Saw Watermark bringing an excavater to an island with the Mount cruising by.Great day to sail with steady 10-15 mph winds.I was the only at Timber Island for an hour or so.

I saw this as well, they were doing 2 septic systems on Mark. One on either side of us. As I was leaving the island I passed two pwc in the broads right after the barge went by.

Made the final trip last week and now the boat and jetski are snug for the winter! Great weather had the lake almost to myself...

Wicked thunder storm on Thursday morning, the cabin shook!

From what I understand there were several homes hit by lightning.

Just checked out the long-range forecast for the weekend...Saturday, clear, high 70s; Saturday few showers, near 70; Monday clear, mid 60s. Would love to get three more days on the Big Lake. Wonder how crowded it'll be?

Too bad you do not have the Mets to take your mind off things for October at least. Sorry had to do it
