Circling the drain

Lake Travis is the lowest it’s been since the morning of June 27–687.22 at this hour–and continues to fall, even with only three floodgates open. The fourth one was closed Friday and another one is expected to be closed tomorrow. Drove out to the marina today, only to find the docks still about eight feet from the shoreline. Decided not to wade out to them, although it was shallow enough, but to wait until tomorrow or Tuesday before going back out to check the sloop. In particular, I need to run the outboard. It’s been almost a month since I did that.
