    Your boat will be green with duckweed, otherwise Colvill is great.

    There was a hose at the cleaning station people were pulling out and cleaning off boats with.

    All the launches are open although you might have to wait if a tuna boat is being pulled out. )

    LOL! And you don’t want to have to clean off a tuna boat from your boat!

    I launched on Monday. There wasn’t a hose and the duck weed will completely cover your boat and trailer. Go to bay point.

    What’s the trick to navigating the closing dam right now?

    If you have a chip on your gps, follow that in it’s deepest area. Either way raise your motor up as high as you can and still keep control. I can see the deepest spot in the closing dam my looking at the water. It’s off to the WI side.

    Check out Navionics on your cell if you don’t have anything on your boats gps.
