This has
NOT been a regular year by anyone's standards and it continues to turn ones thinking up side down.
Traditionally the weekend before Memorial Day is slow; A number of school graduations and people storing up for the upcoming long weekend generally makes for things being pretty dull on the water - -
Not this last weekend! - The first really nice weekend, sunny, temps in the upper 80's plus - and what appeared to be lots of stored up cabin fever - put a whole "
ship" load of folks on the water! With all manner of breakdowns and, of course, the
inevitable BUI tow. Our weekend case load breakdown ran something like this: - covering the lake up to the 36 m/m, Glaize and Niangua Arms.
