You'll have to show us another shot when the tide is in - looks like a nice spot. (Yes, I know that it's actually a lake.)

Can do. These are summer shots.
Ah, summer.* Such a sweet word!** KJ

Much better - everyone, including the boats, looks much happier in these shots. So is there just a small area that gets drained or the whole huge lake? And if just the small area, how do they segregate it?Interesting stuff.

They pretty much drain at least half of the lake. The feds run the water control and are mandated to have the lake at least fifty percent by Jan.* Trouble is, after they lower it, if we have a dry winter (we recently had three years of drought), and there's no snow pack, we're screwed for the summer boating season.* It has happened.
One year we had a couple of really big storms in Oct., so they just about drained the whole lake. Turns out they were the only storms for the rest of the winter.* We couldn't put our boats in at all that year.
Anyway, here's what it usually looks like in Jan.
