Sorry about the late notice. I was on family vacation to Mount Rushmore. By the way, if you have not been, I propose you may want to go. So this sunday june 29 we’ll be on Lake Marion. Just like every other lake in the metro it’s no wake now. Which is good because that means no tubers or wakeboard boats. So what we’ll do is start some minutes early at 6:15 so everyone has a chance to put-put their way out to their spot and we’ll end a little afterward at 12:00 noon so everyone has a chance to put-put their way back. We need everyone to follow the no-wake ordinance so we don’t have any problems with any lake homeowners. (basspursuit.com)
