Where IS Everybody?

Except for the last two seasons, I've always had a handful of small boats and pontoon boats anchored off my shore -- per season. Last season was cloudy and rainy, so their absence was understandable.

This season, the general boat population seems to be "down" in number, though we've had gorgeous weather thses last several weeks.

My cottage-rental agent confirms that this has been a slow season for rentals, so it's "not just me". (And they confirmed fewer boats off their own lakefront location too).

Surely, the price of gasoline wouldn't keep 'em home, or would it?
