After 6 inches of rain from Hurricane Fay over a couple days, it was an interesting row on Friday morning. The lake was indeed up as high as we'd seen it - not over anyone's dock, but up to the sideboards. I was wondering if we'd see a muddy current through the lake but there was none. However, lots of branches and bark had accumulated from run off and been blown together by the wind. Without boat traffic, it was just hanging around out there. It was amazing - as we would row through it, the rushing past would almost make me dizzy! I'm focusing on Kathleen in front of me, most of the time, and the water going past is rather nondescript just having a general sense of movement. But the flotsam really sets off the peripheral vision sensors, so it's like my whole field of view (except Kathleen) is rushing away. I'm so used to driving forward, this backwards motion is very different and was rather unsettling. "Cewl!"
The flotsam didn't last long. Saturday was noticably "cleaner." Sunday was all clear except for an errant log. Fortunately, it was a long way from us.
