[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Jesse,

~9 months after the dam failures, the crystal ball is still very cloudy.  Boyce Hydro has declared bankruptcy and the State of Michigan has condemned & seized the 4 dams under eminent domain.  The State of Michigan is trying weasel out of responsibility regarding the class action law suit brought by all the riparian property owners.  Our lawyers are fighting these motions and the circuit court judge has yet to rule on the State’s motion to dismiss.  There is a restoration plan; but, insufficient funding to implement it.  If the lakes are to be restored, the timeline is 4-6 years.  But, as I write this, it’s not at all clear the 4 lakes will ever be restored.

We have spent ~K$19 so far to remove flood debris, repair our steps and sea walls, and stabilize our shoreline (river bank?).  If we had assurance the lakes we’re going to be restored, it would cost another ~K$19 to restore our dock and beach to their preflood condition.  We won’t spend that money until we have assurance of lake restoration.  We will have several years of advance warning, so there is no hurry.

I have been looking around for a seasonal slip to rent on Saginaw Bay.  So far, any of the desirable locations have a 2-3 year waiting list.  Of course, all the nearby inland lakes were destroyed in the same flood event.  So, there is nothing available on any of those lakes.  We didn’t put S/V Dynamic Equilibrium in the water at all in 2020.  Our planned High Adventure Sailing/Paddling Trip to Apostle Islands National Lakeshore may be the only time we use the boat in 2021.  But, the boat is all paid for and Deb & I don’t want sell it yet.  It may come to that; but, stay tuned.
