Kerr Lake, 8/27-31/26

 We headed back to Kerr Lake, to enjoy the lower expected temps and work on a few things around the houseboat and pontoon boat. Kerr is now at the lowest water level during boating season it's seen in 50 years! There are LOTS of pics in this post, showing islands that have popped up, as well as grounded boats and docks. A sad sight, for sure...

A pic below the pontoon boat in our slip. We usually have 21' of water, there. 



There was 4" of rain in the gauge, since we left on the 11th... yet, the lake is still dropping...


The marina is taking advantage of this low, to do a bit of maintenance around the docks.


They're installing a much nicer walk. 




Deb prepared a great breakfast on Friday morning.

A steep walk down the ramp to B-dock!

Check out the angle of the walkway to C-dock...

Folks hanging out on Bahama island...


We fished a little, Laura was the only one to actually land a fish :-)


New bait wraps from Laura on our rods.


Kinda puts things in perspective.  The lake is LOW!



2 pairs of glasses :-)

A new island the has surfaced near Bahama island...
