Stan,
That's just one more reason for me to convince the admiral that we need a  
float for the R22 as well as her run about. The last time I checked, they 
ran  around $5,000.00 installed, but it sure would be nice to get her up and 
out of  the water. Even with bottom paint, Lake Hartwell can leave a nasty 
stripe around  the water line.

your and  Rummy of course are correct - I think that is a shallow water way 
and  might theorize that the snow load was enough to push it down enough to 
bed  the keel in the mud (the self bailers would have been clogged) and 
once  
full of water it did not take much resistance to keep it  down?
