| I arrived by motorcycle on Friday, June 3rd. The weather was great and I was sore after the long ride. |
| The water temperature was in the high 60's (F) early in the week and the lake had many days of high skiableity. |
| Later in the week a kneeboard crash loosened some of my bones but I can still wiggle a few toes and can eat semi-solid food. |
| The air temperature was near or above 80 F all week. Sunburn became an issue by Thursday. |
| Meg did not seem to have a sunburn problem and she was a big help in getting the webcam back. |
| The DSL went out on June 14th at around 1:00 AM but will be back up Thursday night. The new, faster connection really worked great when it was working. I'm still looking at a reflector site to speed the webcams downloads. The webcam page is going to change (for the better) soon. |
| While diving, finding a fishing lure is not usally a big deal, but I found this package of "Berkley PowerBait" with 3 unused baits sealed inside. |
| A large, loud storm hit on Thursday evening. Meg called sunburned and sore me out to try to photograph some of the lightning. A little sun was still present but it could still be considered "dark" so I gave it a shot. |
| I ran out of film right after this bolt. |
| Special Underwater Anchor Repair Section |
|
| There were problems with the location and condition of a raft anchor south of us. |
| Long exposure to the lake had caused chain to become "thinner". |
| One link became to thin and a float was lost. |
| We found some block with a less thin chain and moved it a little west. |
| A cool blue covered cable was used to add more block and attach a new float. |
| Meg helped. |
| After the cable was attached I piled some more block on the top. |
| Smallmouth bass shadowed me the entire time. |
| After the anchor repair I had a few hundred pounds of air left so I went exploring a little bit deeper and found a crib. |
| I looks like this bottle marked it last year but has since lost it's buoyancy. |
| It was hard leaving on Sunday but we'll be back. |
