Just read a news article stating that "flash drought" conditions are causing water levels to drop in reservoirs across the southern US. Since the Catalina 25 is such a great boat for inland lakes I understand that a number of our forum contributors sail on these reservoirs. Here's a note of sympathy for those of you affected. Hopefully it won't be as serious, or as long-lasting, as similar conditions described here in the past.

During the last drought in California, our reservoir dropped 160 feet below full level. It uncovered a lot of things that hadn't been seen for a while. You could walk through an old gold mine that had been submerged when the dam was built.

We had a short-lived drought in Ohio, but a good rain seems to have put an end to it. Meanwhile, Annapolis was flooded last weekend, and the Sailboat Show had water rising over some docks and some display tents were flooded. Water was over the docks where I keep my CAL 25, but my C&C 35 is winterized, on the hard and covered. Too bad we can't get the weather we wish for!

Well.. as for me we are only down 4 feet on Lake Lanier. No Problem. I remember years back when we went down 17 feet. That was fun for me. I grew up in skinny water in the gulf coast bays so the well mapped and relatively uncomplex bottom in our lake, along with the lack of current make it relatively easy to navigate.

Interestingly enough they also took all the aerial images for google maps at that time and those images are still up so much of the bottom that was shallow shows up in the images.

Those images are my navigation guides to this day.
