Yesterday with the help of high lake levels and a few friends. I was able to get my Catalina 25 out of the cove. It is no longer stuck. This Thursday it will get it moved to Joe Pool Lake. After than I will start the clean up process..
So this means I'll stop being a lurker and I'll actually start being an active participant.
I am lucky to have generous friends... now I need another one to give me a ride on Thursday. From the state park marina over to lynn creek. Picture and Video will be posted later on today..
Maybe this was already posted in another thread - but I heard on the national news there was a lake in TX that rose 3'. That would be huge at our lake!
I was gonna ask how the levels rose enough recently for you to get out? Looking at the current level, it's full. Did you guys get a massive rain up there?
You need to drop into Canyon with Derek and I where it's much bluer. ;)
I've got a buddy that keeps telling me all about canyon lake... I need to go visit some time...

We came up alot thanks to that last rainfall. The area out by the lake got almost 6", so there was a ton of runoff. Lake came up about 4'....and that was just enough to get down that channel and get the boat out of the cove.
Hey Eddy: I can give you a lift Thursday late morning/afternoon. BTW Howard Webb made an A frame for stepping the mast, that worked really well (easy!!!) last Saturday. Give me a ring at eighter 1 seven fiver too oner 7 three fiver threer. Doug
