I also agree with the comments made about Dave and the other marina staff. Comments: What about the fact that the state keeps giving out more rights to companies to mine minerals from the lake. These companies yield a lot more power with the state congress than us that enjoy the lake for its beauty and sailing. There is a good chance that the rumor that these companies control, to the best of their ability, the amount of water that is allowed to enter the lake or the level of the lake. We may need the lake to rise like back in the 80’s before we can see the level rise very much. This just may never happen again. A couple of ideas: I’m sure others have thought of this, but instead of dredging the marina, what about moving at least part of it, to deeper water; even if we need to fairy back and forth. Maybe we should ask the mineral companies to help dredge or move some of the slips. They have the equipment and want to keep the lake at lower levels. I believe we can solve this problem for a lot less than $5 mil or maybe I’m all wet or salty.

Things have improved imeasurably with the marina team we have now. I also question - $5mil to dredge? Errol
