Awesome pictures. Looks like from the shoreline the water it's down a foot. Hard to tell. Love the hairball shot. She's going to hate that platform. Yea the sunrise looks different here.

I think it's down 5 or 6 feet from full.

The pool cove is a little busier today.

Lesson learned from yesterday

When we tied up for lunch we were in some pretty clear water. Raised the drive up and it looks like I took most of the paint off the skeg. Booooooooo.

Your pictures have caused me to end a long term relationship.

[thunder550]

Sounds like an abusive relationship, you made the right choice

I put on my big boy pants this morning and headed up the river. Shallowest I saw on the depth finder going through the inlet was 1.1 ft. May have scraped the sand a bit again, not sure though. I had my tape measure out to check actual depth and I think the gauge shows 1-1.5ft shallower than real life. Either way, I made it. Went about halfway up the river towards Pirate Cove and got cold and decided my nerves weren't up for seeing shallow flashes of water and brief periods of 3-4 ft on the depth gauge while running at 35 mph Turned around and came back but at least I made it part way. Blew through the no wake zone on the way back through, saw 2.2ft at one point but made it through fine.

Got a single pic for evidence, not that it shows much....

Would you guys beach your boats in this? I've been tying up at the dock. There are beaches available right in front of our room but they look like this. Seen a couple people beached but I wasn't comfortable with it.

I would not beach my Cobalt in that. Sand only and that Is pushing it for me.

Oh hell to the no! I do know a guy with a beautiful Formula cruiser that beaches his on shale rock every weekend.... We cringe at the sight!

[Tuscany]

Hell no. I won’t beach period.
These pics are killing me. I sit here today, buried in three feet of 0 degree snow, covered up like a baby dealing with strep throat and a med reaction. My swollen throat feels like I’m gargling hornets. Someone shoot me..

I am TF out of here in a couple weeks to South Florida, and plan on staying there until I put down the gun and feel like living again...

Hang in the Tuscany! Hopefully you'll feel better before you head for warmer weather.

And plus one, two and three on beaching in the gravel. Not only no but HELL no would I beach in that. Or sand for that matter. When the waves rock your boat just imagine a bigass sander/grinder working into your hull. Even getting off and on in still water would not be good.

I do not beach my boat at the fair
i do not beach my boat on a dare
I do not beach my boat here or there
I do not beach my boat anywhere.
