    Anyone else stranded?!

    Greetings All!! Hope this finds everyone well.

    I have not been on the water since last April because my lake is down more than 10 ft. It is spring fed, 3 of them to be exact, but can't keep up with the rate of evaporation. There's no end in sight. According to the expert's, this drought will continue through 2013. It would take 5-7 tropical storms to come and hover over Fla. for days to raise the lakes back to normal. ARRRRGH!!! The only way I know that I can ski is to pull the Nautique down to Orlando. That's just too far and I don't have the time, or money for gas to make that trek.

    I hope no one else is in the same boat, pardon the pun. Wifey and I ride 50 miles every weekend on our road bikes. Gym everyday. Beach every weekend. Skiing has ALWAYS been a part of every weekend, so this is killing me. Not gonna sell my beloved SN, but looking at it sitting there makes me crazy. My band is being asked to play more than I wanted to schedule, but I guess I'll book us more since being in bed at a decent hour isn't required as it stands.

    Dear God, send us rain. For ALL the reasons we need it.

    Here's wishing you guys a fun filled season. Think of wifey and I as you rip through the course.

    Regards!

    Always respectful,
    Mikey

        Mike...we are stranded also. Texas is looking worse than ever. My home lake near San Antonio is 54 feet down...docks are sitting dry with boats in the lifts. Ugly site. The lakes/rivers that do have water will be a blender full of boats come Memorial Day. We need a Western Gulf storm to dump about 15/20 inches north of our lake to at least put a dent in it. Good luck to you this summer.

            Kenv, I have a cousin who lives in TX and was telling me months ago people are turning on their faucets and nothing is coming out. Aquifer is crazy low. Really sad!! Scary too. He's praying for us all mi amigo.
