How long do you think it will take before it starts dropping

Went down to inland today wanting to check out their facilities before I commit and snapped a few pictures...











Met Gordy and Mike. They said that a pontoon lifted off its blocks and floated across the lake today still in shrink wrap.

I don't think the no wake will be lifted till July. I heard its like a foot higher than the record. Oh and I saw that pontoon in shrink wrap it floated from spring lake marinas parking lot across the channel to c.j. smiths parking lot almost to grass lake road it's pretty nuts!

Does the houseboat in the last pic belong there?

34.8' was our official crest which beat '08s crest by exactly one foot setting yet another record. We've lost about 2' as of now. Normal pool is about 11' for us. Club house is empty and ready for demo and reconstruction. Not a good way to start the season by any means.
