if we have any Florida boaters on board - what is the lake level in your area?

Clermont chain is now unusable - unless you already have the boat floating.

Can't get an inboard boat in the water using any of the ramps.

Well, lets just say... IF you do manage to get it in the water, you wont get it back on the trailer.

I'm in Orlando on the Butler Chain. My Jetski is sitting high and dry in my boathouse, about 10ft from the water:-(

I tried Johns' Lake last weekend. Ran the Moomba aground twice...15 seconds after the depth finder was showing 12 feet

Thanks but nah. Us Floridian boaters are pretty spoiled in that we rarely see many boats on the water at the same time we are.

this statement definetly doesn't make the lake sound real inviting to me...

“I think the lake is at capacity, and the number of boats is a sign of that,”

Right now I have to drag the boat 45 minutes from my house. Which is a far distance for me.

When I get there, there may be as many as 4 or 5 trailers in the parking lot (meant for 50).

Our lake in Orange Springs close to Ocala has dropped tremendously since last summer and is now unusable. Looks like we will be hitting the river this year unless we get some rain or hurricanes.

Ever been to Lake George? If so, hows that place?

Lets pray for some tropical storms.

Hurricanes we can do without!
