Cruising full speed across lake ozette with my Dad during the summer when the water was unusually low. We were in between Garden Island and a some creek. We had taken this route many times and had only noticed shallows closer to shore.

All of the sudden the boat and all of our gear jumps about 2 feet in the air. The outboard kicks straight up out of the water and we coast to a stop. When I turn around to see if everything is still in the boat I see a long slender sand bar extending from where the creek spills out into the lake almost 1/2 way to the island about 6' below the water.

Lesson learned: go slower.
