From a Beatles' song. With our marina bay water slowly rising, we are all in anticipation of getting to do what we came here to do. Unlike last year, where I worked a bunch of days without a day off when we first got here, they are cutting hours... I volunteered to take the day off, and the manager quickly agreed to that. Then, he took the day off, too. We have done as much of the prep work as possible, now we just need enough water to launch boats, kayaks, and canoes, and we will be plenty busy. The flow out the dam has been closed down by nearly half, the water coming into the lake is increasing... we had about a 6" rise in the lake overnight; doesn't sound like much, but the lake is 16 miles by 8 miles - that is a lot of water. I'm expecting to see similar increases the next couple weeks. Our temps in the 70s have dropped to the 50s, with light precip off and on all day. Clouds obscured the mountains.
With the rain and low visibility, there would have been little interest in boat cruises and rentals, even if we had more water. I think we may be able to get the small stuff in the water by this weekend. The rainy weather is forecast for the next 7 days... should be an interesting week.
