Biggest issue is the water is so high our electrical boxes to the docks (junction box from shore to dock) are under water and therefor we have no dock power available. Since the levels are not going down any time soon, they expect no power available for the entire season! Good thing I installed solar panels on the hardtop early spring however the inconvenience of no power is really a PITA. They have budgeted $100,000 to reconfigure the entire marina electrical system at the end of the season this year so it will not happen again.



Heard a lot about your high water problems. While we have high water levels here it's nothing like what you are going through. We had another strong windy day today. Was hoping to head out for an early evening short cruise but it started raining so I stayed dockside.

Any day on the boat is a good day, at least that is true most of the time.
