Friday-Saturday wasn't busy, but wasn't quiet from this vantage point.
Boat traffic seemed like an average weekend of 15 years ago. Quiet compared to how it's been the last 5 years. The number of small boats (Whalers & motorized rowboats) was once again greater than I've seen in many years. The number of boats larger than the average 1980s bowrider was such that my friends and I noted the passage of each one.
Once again, weather seemed to determine the level of traffic. Fri-Sat were both nice and summerlike, but yesterday (Sunday) was cloudy. Even though the rain passed in the early morning and left the rest of the day dry, the lake was dead all day, looked like November.
Side note: My friends and I also noted the absence of the usual motorcycle rumble that can be heard from the distant shores during bike week. Instead we heard more loons than bikes.
