Labor Day Weekend

It was a great weekend if you had a chance to enjoy it.  Mother nature helped out just in time to give us some much needed rain.  It was a great site to see the lake up a couple feet instead of down the 1+ as usual.

We had a nice weekend at the lake, went out Sunday and spent the day up Shoal Creek.  It was a bit cloudy to start but with the cooler temps and slight breeze it was gorgeous.  Heated up a bit in the afternoon though.

Be extra careful there's a lot of shallow water around and stuff sticking just below the surface.  I've been hearing of many boats that have run aground and been damaged.  Not a way to start the day or end the season as the kids go back to school.

If you didn't attend Aquapalooza you missed a great time.  It was a great weekend on the lake hope you had a chance to enjoy it.  Friday and Saturday were the best I think the haze on Saturday kept the temperature down.  Today was hot and humid, but what do you expect for July in Georgia.

There were lots of boats and people at the event.  We had a great spot front and center just off the beach.  Couldn't have planned it any better.  Hopefully they will have it here again next year.

If you attended the event and had a good time call Marinemax and thank them for sponsoring and organizing.

Well it was a great weekend, the weather was a bit crazy though.  Be careful out there the lake levels are down.  Be considerate of others as you are motoring (or sailing) about.  You are responsible for your wake and any damage it does.  Several boats were damaged by a boater going through a cove while creating a large wake.

The weather wasn't great this weekend but it still beats working.  It was perfect for getting ready for the 4th though, hope to see you out there for the fireworks.

June 22, 2008

It was a crazy morning, nothing like a storm to start your day, even if it comes through before 5:00 AM.  We had a picture perfect evening Saturday night, good friends and great weather.  The sky was beautiful.  We had two anchors down, should hold us with the weather conditions and forecast.

Unfortunately for us nature had something else in mind.  We were awakened by water splashing on the hull, nothing unusual just an indicator of increasing winds.  I went up top to check things out and realized that the wind had shifted 180 and was picking up.  Still nothing to worry about or so I thought.  Hind sight being 20-20 we should have reset the anchors since we had turned around making the set a temporary thing.

As the wind picked up and we started to drift back as the anchor set was undone we prepared for the worst, breaking apart and heading back, in the dark and rain.  Thanks for GPS and auto pilot, great things to have even on a small lake.

We made it back to the dock ~6:00 AM in one piece and much wiser, even slept in until almost 10:00 AM.  As scary as it was I wouldn't trade it for a good day at the office.

June 16, 2008

It was a crazy weekend of sorts.  It was still great to be at the lake.  Sunday was perfect, sun shining and warm weather.  We just managed to miss the rain and storms that came up late in the afternoon.

May 4, 2008 M Dock and Cocktail Cove

It was a beautiful day on the lake and at Cocktail.  Cocktail was extremely crowded and many inexperienced boaters were moving about.  Be careful and watch out for the other boaters.  It was great to see so many people out enjoying the lake.  If you see us (Sea~renity) stop by and say hello.

May 3, 2008 Bald Ridge Gas Dock

Just in case you hadn't heard there was an explosion and fire at the Bald Ridge gas dock.  Three people were injured and the boat is a total loss.  The explosion occurred when the operator started the engines after refueling.  Make sure you ventilate the engine compartment and bilge before starting an engine.  This is especially true after refueling.  If this is the first time refueling after a long period, like winter lay-up, check the bilge during filling and after to make sure there isn't any leaks in the gas or fill lines that put gasoline into the bilge.  Hopefully this wont happen again.
