No Wake No Problem!
I took this picture last weekend at the lake in Naples Maine. That is the ramp behind the sign.
Looks like there might be trouble in the spring if we don’t get some rain.
Any one know a good rain dance?

There are a few ramps around here that are high and dry also. I was at the water today and was amazed at the level. It is another 2 feet below last fall. We are in serious trouble. They keep extending the cement pads to keep the ramps alive but they cannot keep up. Every year it is worse.There is a lake in Muskegon that used to open into Lake MI. The water is so low it is now closed off. Major $$$$ homes and boats are stuck in a small lake now (puddle). They want the Corp of Eng to dredge but since it is not a real port they won't do it. It will need to rain like never before or it will only get worse.

Another 18 inches and we are in very serious trouble. I hope they are wrong. That would close alot of Marinas, launches, raise slip fees and really hurt the business. Not good.
