Labor Day

Happy Labor Day Weekend! Hopefully all boaters on Lake Hartwell are being extra cautious this year (with the lower water levels). There are many trees exposed ( a whole forest at the southern end of Andersonville Island) and large shoals peaking up above the water. Many visitors to Lake Hartwell come to our lake infrequently and are not aware of the potential danger of not knowing the lake. I saw a lot of examples of this yesterday on my boat ride, from the Seneca River to the Tugaloo River, to install a For Sale Sign on a Boat Dock.
The most beautiful season to enjoy Lake Hartwell is fast approaching. The summer haze will disappear, the trees will come alive with vibrant colors of red, yellow & orange and the sky will be the clearest blue you can imagine. I absolutely love fall on Lake Hartwell!!! Fall is also a good time to take care of small home repairs before you close up your Lake Home for the season. The Handymen for the jobs are 1)Keith Stokes (phone number is: 864-617-1653). Keith is a licensed electrician, great carpenter & also does small plumbing jobs. 2) Stephen Rahn (phone number is: 864-449-3396). Stephen specializes in small engine repair, installation of electronics, radios & GPS, on boats and can arrange for you to add a Sunroom to your Lake Home in a flash among many other things. Please check my blog daily for helpful information as well as schedules of local happenings around Lake Hartwell! ~Parker

Rain, Rain, Rain & More Rain....I hope!

Lake Hartwell and the surrounding areas got some good soaking rains last week (along with some Tornados). The lake Level came up over a foot and hopefully we'll see more improvement of lake levels from impending tropical storms/ hurricanes swirling around in the caribbean. ***Tip of the day: make sure you keep your Boat Dock pushed out and floating if at all possible. Docks being grounded (along with Boats parked within) can cause serious damage to both your watercraft as well as your boat dock. You may call Ernest Rogers @ 864-934-7021 to help you with extending Dock Cables and pushing your dock out. More Later....Parker
