Notes
Sunny and windy morning with moderately strong wave action and few whitecaps further out on the lake. Interesting colour contrast in the lake today with brown much of the way from shoreline out to a definite line in the water where it became bluish/green. Lake level is extremely high compared to a month ago when previous reading taken, with no limestone ledge shoreline walkable anymore. Depth where we test is no deeper though due to the flat bottom that extends quite far out into lake. Lots of seagulls flying and squacking overhead and on the water. Picked up some garbage, plastic, paper & cans in the firepits nearby our test site, but this entire Point Petre area is regularily littered from end to end by inconsiderate & mindless people who come here to hang out in a remote region on the Lake.
