Water temp last Sunday where we anchored on our local pond was 88 degrees. Of course this is down by the cooling water discharge for the nuke plant. On the other side of the lake towards the intake it is still around 80 degrees. Crazy for this time of year. Won't get the tub water next year as the plant is getting shut down next summer.

Yep this Florida boy dipped his toes in the big lake at Grand Haven the other night and was almost lured into going for a swim .

Kinda different not having to worry about big fish wanting to taste you .

Great Video but the Song was too short.

Yes, Clinton. Have a fellow boater who has worked at most of the IL plants including Clinton and he said the transition team is already in action and there is no turning back now. No more wakeboarding in February!
