Yes BBP...you have to pay special attention going at low speed through buoy fields and other places that would usually be safe. Even experienced folks have scraped bottom at low speed. This is a weird year at Tahoe...hope we get a big snowfall this year!

It's been worse. 2015 we were a couple feet lower at this same time that year. And also below the natural rim

Nothing Unforgivable about this thread.

There are 2 types of boaters. Those that have been aground, and those that are going to go aground!

It's a fact of life, and I made a living towing people back to the dock for the last 35 yrs.

Some glad to be grape farming now, cause it means being on the water is for fun, not for work.

Bobrae, off subject but what kind of tracking device do you have? Can an older non-tech senior use it? Lol
