Hit some rocks in Boston Harbor

[ChuckW]

The Great Lakes may have waves higher than the Atlantic from what I am reading! :wow:

OK, so you called my bluff, fleeing Earl wasn't exactly my real reason for heading this way. Let's just say the admiral decided where we were going this weekend. :grin:

Made the haul last night, sitting here with 40mph gusts outside and the boat on the trailer longing for water. A Gail Warning is up here at Lake Erie in NY! :thumbsup:

Sorry to the OP for what is now a hi-jack...back to the OP.

Chuck,

At least you have water to look at. The winds have pushed all the water from here in Toledo to Buffalo. The water fell around 2.5 ft yesterday afternoon and we're below low water datum. It looks like we may be that way for a couple of days until the wind stops or shifts.

My boat is sitting in the hoist slings, after pulling to clean, inspect, and change props before heading south. Went to launch yesterday afternoon and there was less than 3 ft of water in the well. Oh well at least I'm not sitting on the bottom.
