Smile And the tide turns

Despite MB's generous offer, I made a quick trip to check that our dock hadn't gone "mcdude" on us (it hadn't). Interestingly the water wasn't as high as I had feared. It was only slightly more than last Sunday's level despite the readings at Lakeport. I can only guess the wind was piling up the water last weekend and when it stopped blowing it was replaced by this weeks rise. I put the equivalent of a good NFL defensive line on the dock ala FLL's water weights and so should be OK despite what rain comes in the next few days. I just checked the lake level and it is presently receding (maybe 1" in last 24 hrs) so it appears the tide is headed out (for now ). Looking up and down Alton Bay I could see sticks and logs and miscellaneous flotsam everywhere, big stuff too. No way would I be out at night like I saw 1 person doing. As I passed the "roped off" Alton Bay beach I had a new concept of what a perched beach was. Not one held back by a wall but rather one where the perch swim to sun themselves.
