Lake St. Clair, Memorial Day, The Moot & Shallow Water...
 

Is the party on for the Moot? Can we get in there safely?

I'd say we're okay. I rafted with friends off of Gull island last weekend, there was plenty of water. Of course if the weather stays like it is today (windy and cold) it won't matter!

Extended weather forecast looks good for the holiday week-end. If it tops 80* I will be on the Moot with my little yellow Donzi.

Won't be there, but hope the weather clears up!

Anyone know how low the water levels are right now? Will be there if we get the boat back in time.

Water level is ok.

LAKE ST. CLAIR
Lake St. Clair’s monthly mean water level for April of 573.36 feet was 5 inches above March’s level. During April, Lake St. Clair was 9 inches below last year’s level and 11 inches below LTA. Lake St. Clair is forecasted to be 6 inches below its levels of a year ago in May and then gradually rise to 5 inches above last year’s level by October. The lake is expected to remain 10 to 11 inches below LTA over the next six months.

OK, cool. I haven't been to Lake St. Clair yet this year but I've been hearing horror stories. A freighter even got grounded :/.

Freighters get grounded in LSC all the time - they draft 20+ feet and the average depth of the lake is soemthing like 13 ft - get out of the channel and you're aground. In this case, the freighter lost power and deliberately steered out of the channel rather than drift (as I understand it).

I figured he got out of the channel. At least the bottom is soft. :)

Well, may have to look at pulling the old girl out.
