WHAT A MISERABLE WEEKEND THAT WAS

Well, we all know how bad the weather was this past weekend, especially around the lake.  How cottage country fared is all over the news.  


Most of those winds we had over the weekend were coming mainly from the north.  And when we get those strong north winds on Lake Winnipeg, that slows all the water from flowing into the north basin and raises the water levels all around the south basin.  Therefore our marina is filled to overflowing.  


The ramp that normally gets you down onto the government launch dock, is now an up ramp, and I think you would get your feet wet trying to get onto it.  


Our ramp that is normally a pretty steep climb is levelled right out.  We'll enjoy that while it lasts.  






You can see the high water mark, by the flotsam left behind by the receding water










This walkway was obviously under water.  










This launch dock will be un-usable until the water recedes.  


This government launch ramp at the other end of the marina is pretty much awash as well.  But, this will all be back to normal in a couple of days, as soon as the winds die off or switch and start coming from the south.  Which is supposed to happen today and into Wednesday.
