Boating index?

My boating index is typically checking the Rattlesnakecam online to see what it looks like in the broads before we head up.

On 06-15 we took the Jet Ski from Green's Basin to the Weirs. We left around 1pm and the broads were like glass. We had never seen it so smooth. We left the Weirs around 4pm to head back. What a difference a few hours make! The swells were so high. It was a tough ride back. We were soaked! It just goes to show you that the weather can change in an instant!

It was crazy....all of a sudden the wind picked up and the lake began to churn....it make docking very interesting! Thankfully we were able to get some help from our Marina family.

I had just cleaned our already primed front steps and was going to paint them since it was a calm and dry day. A strong southeast wind came up suddenly covering the steps with pine needles, etc. If I had just finished painting, I would have had a real mess to clean. 😱

Here's another more obscure cam that gives a GREAT view of Meredith Bay out in front of the Weirs

To reference you -- FL#1 is in the left side / Eagle Isl (FL#2) on the right
