At a pool elevation of 1280', the lake is still about 15' shy of floating all the docks, a lesson learned. The mini C-Dory fleet made an early retreat....I'm sure hoping that you where craving a drive up to visit your friend in Coleville, Greg....I was wishing I could have given you a call the other night and saved you some mileage

We did enjoy the scenery, saw some critters and ate a bunch of cherries. Coming home down the freeway we saw a C-Dory on the Columbia by Multnoma Falls

We agree with Ken--the Lake Roosevelt trip was not as planned. At 1280' there was not enough water for all the docks to be floating & the marina's did not have any guest slips. Many of the slips were empty but they were rented for the season. Wednesday night we tied up to a pine tree & beached the boat. On Thursday night we did stay at Kettle Falls marina but only because a kind lady let us stay at an empty slip. Any way the scenery was pretty & for the most part the water was like a mill pond. The highlite was the sighting of 4 Golden Eagles--we had never seen them before.

Even with the water level problem, I wish we would have been with you folks at Roosevelt. I must have been having short term memory loss when I thought that we could make it this weekend. This was the first week of the cherry season and our customers were very stressed and needing immediate service.

Wade, Shelley just asked me about the colored line company that you mentioned at Lopez. I tried www.topknot.com and didn't find the website. Do you have any more information that you can share regarding their name and address?

We missed getting over to Roosevelt! We've been working , getting the house and grounds ready for the summer, and fighting off ills ,and haven't even looked at the boat til Sunday.

As for Top-Knot, yep mooringlines.com is the place. We got our lines at their SBS booth the year our boat was on display. They were the first part of the rigging we got. Consequently we are very pleased with them. The best ones we have are Top Knot's. Excellent products.
