A bit of a blow overnight with a great light show.  The ensuing seiche was
about a foot and a half.  Remember, kiddies, always wash behind your ears,
brush your teeth, and tie up your boat before you go to bed.  (Four kayaks
drifted off, but were eventually recovered.  Being the paranoid type when it
comes to boats drifting or blowing away, I had carried mine about ten feet
onto shore and then tied it to a big rock. In the morning it was bobbing
about, still tied to the rock. It's amazing what the wind can do to pile up
the water at one side of a huge lake.)
