Eildon is very very low
As you probably know, we’re looking to buy a ski boat. Without getting into the details, we can buy an old inboard ski boat like this one
or an outboard ski boat like this one
Looking at this photo from today from the Lake Eildon webcam makes me think that we should be looking at something that we can comfortably take out onto Corio Bay, where the water will never run out.
That’s the Eildon Boat Club at 5pm today. The water level is 16%. Yes, those houseboats appear to be stranded.
You can still launch your ski boat, but according to the wake.com.au forums you’ll be flirting with the trees and even underwater bridges every time you venture out when the water’s that low.
Lake Hume is just as bad…
So. Lucky the tide comes in twice a day on Port Phillip Bay.

Blimey, that’s low. It looks like someone took the plug out…
We’re going fishing this weekend, a friend read me my starsign today and it said “every catch will be a prize catch!”
Looks like I’LL be the first to catch a fish….! hee hee

No, Matt’s the catch. So you’ll have to snag him with your 2/0 hook on a cast.
How was the treatment on Monday?

You’d hope the neighbours next door were friendly…it looks like they’ll be hanging out for a while.
Its interesting to see where they keep having to create new tracks as the water gets lower. Eventually i imagine they’ll just be walking round in circles around a puddle.
Bring on the rain!
