Smack and other Texas sailors...

Not a good look at all. We get the odd bushfire down here. I've had an (un)controlled burn come within a few metres of a place I once owned, I'd hate to get caught up in the real thing.

Bastrop fire and Austin skyline.

Here's some video - and no, this is not Toledo...





And why our end of the lake was closed this weekend...



And no, that's not us filming the lake thing.

The fire in Grimes/Montgomery county has reflared and jumped the fire lanes. I have so many loved ones who are evacuating right now...it is a long way from being over.

Smack . . . That island isn't supposed to be above the water. That's Travis right?

When the wind is out of the West, we get some hint of the smoke smell all the way over here in Houston.
Pray for rain!!

Yep, Travis. Those are the "Sometimes Islands" near our marina. So you're right, when the lake is full, they're gone. But we're like 50' down right now.
