Rich,
It's a serious issue on the Great Lakes right now - many clubs and marinas on
Lake Ontario are not accessible to boats drawing over 5 1/2 feet some are
pulling deeper drafts already. I've had to extend my dock skirt down 2+ feet so
I don't go under the dock.
On the upper lakes I have friends with cottages on islands that are having to
extend docks and take other actions to get to the islands - no fun!
Wish we had tides even wind tides right now!
Paul. :)

I don't understand all the flap over water levels. Ours goes up and down over
6' every few hours. Up to 40' on the Bay of Fundy. No sweat.
