Pittsburgh, stressed right now because you are in unfamiliar territory; we all went through it. Once spring arrives and you are out on your boat you will think it was all worth it
Will this winter ever end? I have a new Benny to enjoy!!

I think it is like kids even though I don't have any, it gets easier when dealing with the second one. I knew there would be some bugs, but also know they will be taken care of.

I hope you are right
After parking the boat at my dock I will be at the other Bennington Dealer
On a bright note it looks beautiful out there
Too bad it is not 75 instead of 55
Just a piece of the dam.

Pittsburgh, your water has a nice blue color; our water is very clear with almost no growth in it but it looks more like a glass of water devoid of blue color. Can someone explain to me what makes the water blue as in the Caribbean?

No pollution ? Could it be the reefs ?

Our lake has that Caribbean blue most of the time. I think the many limestone cliffs and bottom rocks on the main tributary causes it.

I am not sure why our Lake looks so Blue
It is this way especially during Blue Skies and Sunny Days
I do know the water of this private lake is tested monthly
It is clean enough to drink directly from the lake
I hope we are always able to maintain top quality
When living in a lake community
It is always known nothing is more valuable than the lake
Not even your house
Without the lake the house is worthless

The Land of Ten Thousand Lakes sounds amazing

Still not quite there for me; as I said our lake is extremely clear, able to see bottom yet our lake is more or less devoid of color. When the article says "By the way, this effect is most prevalent when the particles that do the scattering are smaller than the wavelength of light, as is the case for the nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the atmosphere." doesn't make sense that the particles of the Caribbean water are smaller than the particles of my water

I'm thinking white sandy bottom and blue skies makes the huge difference with water color.
Ever see blue snow? Just heard of it this year, and I'll be damn if it ain't true. I checked it out after a fresh snow (one of the many) this year, and it def. looked blue ....
never noticed it before. Has something to due with amount of moisture in "wet" snow vs. "dry" snow.

When we're talking about the color of snow (not like Frank Zappa that is) you know it's been a very long winter!I'm thinking white sandy bottom and blue skies makes the huge difference with water color.

And the reason is ?
I know exactly why the water on my "home" lake is poo-poo brown with a tinge of green and sometimes glows...
It's not as bad as I make it sound. Really, it's not...
...I swear.
