    Had the day off so I was out on Jordan yesterday.weather as beautiful, very few folks out and the water temp was nice. Plan on getting out today, but expect it to be a bit more crowded. Finding myself anchoring a bit more with these gas prices. :)

    Hoping to be out on Jordan Sunday, getting the boat ready for the summer tomorrow. Last year was rough with the ramp closures, so I’m hoping things are closer to normal this year.

    Thinking about heading out to Jordan or falls lake today. How busy has the hwy 50 ramp at falls lake been? How about New hope at Jordan?

    According to the website, it looks like Jordan will open all the ramps, tentatively, on June 1.

    We went by just before 11 and it was completely packed. Parking was completely full and they were parking off on the grass. The guys at the gate said tomorrow was going to be nuts.

    I was out at Falls Lake today, no issues. Didn’t notice the water height but I don’t frequent that lake. Put in at Hwy 50. I am planning on getting out to Jordan Saturday and/or Sunday this weekend.

    New bern (or similar) to Cape Look out run June 29th (tentative)

    Would love too, let me know the dates, later June is probably a bit better. Of course the thought of the ocean and a 19ft boat makes a bit nervous. Maybe it shouldn’t? Thanks for the tag @Shookie

    I am curious if anyone knows how Falls or Harris Lakes are looking. Any chance of getting out on this weekend? I know the levels at Jordan are way up with lots of debris and it is still closed for at least another week. I am starting to wonder if there is going to be any more boating for the...

    I don’t have a spare trailer jack, but I can definitely bring some tools if they will help. Which ramp are you at? I will be at rolling view tomorrow morning. No way to crank it with pliers or vise grips or anything?

    I did it! I managed to get out of going to that wedding after all, I will see you guys tomorrow. I should be there by 11. I think I am going to put the boat in at the Rolling View ramp as it was stated it was a less crowded ramp. At least much more quiet than the ramp on 50, which is what I used...
