New ride is big, very comfortable...if you're down I'll take you out for a cruise. I ordered a couple of bilge heaters; should be here this week...you can borrow one for the Cig if you decide to commission.

I have the Hawks Cay and Boat Show runs on tivo...got some good video on those.

LOTO was horrible last year for trash and dirty water. Worst I've seen it in 10 years. They just got 5 inches of rain so this year is off to another crappy start.

Randy i would think unless something unusual happens you would be ok the water temps are coming up and that radiates heat off the water. Hope all is well see you soon

Current lake level is 659.5 (660 is normal pool) it was 656.8 when I left Monday a.m.

That fast of a rise will surely bring some debris off the banks and down the rivers although the lake remained fairly full most of the winter. They didn't really start dropping it until the end of Feb.; I hope it dopesn't get too bad but I have my doubts.

FYI

LAKE OF THE OZARKS INFORMATION UPDATE.

LAKE LEVELS / BAGNELL DAM


LAKE LEVELS March 19
Information provided by AmerenUE
River level: 563.9
Truman Lake: 711.4
Lake of the Ozarks: 658.74
Surface water temp: 42F at Bagnell Dam

Heavy generation. Lake levels for the next three days: 658.8; 659.0; 659.2

Winter drawdown is underway. AmerenUE reminds dock owners to begin making provisions for lake levels as low as 651. Three generators are down at Bagnell Dam. It is possible AmerenUE may open flood gates if precipitation continues.
