Hey. You were all so incredibly helpful with my big wake question, we've got another for you. We have gotten a ton of rain in the Seattle area over the last week and wondering what implications it has for taking out the boat are both on Lake Union & Washington as well as Puget Sound.
We took our boat out yesterday on Lake Union/Washington for a quick spin and it was eerily quiet. Getting out of our lakeside dock was tricky because the currents were carrying us to the other side where boats were moored, but we managed. But I imagine a ton of runoff water is currently entering the lakes. Implications?
Also, on this morning's run we noticed the water level in Shilshole Marina is extraordinarily high compared to normal and the beach at Golden Gardens is currently non existent - we haven't seen these levels in the 12 years we've lived in Ballard. There are flooding warnings in effect.
What is your thought process for going out versus not in this type of weather? Did we get lucky yesterday or just par for the course? Look forward to learning from the trawler sages on this forum!
