Often during a storm items break loose from their moorings and float away. It could be something as big as a section of dock or as small as a water bouey. It may be a while before it is discovered missing by the owner, as some people are not at the lake every weekend. If you find something on your beach that blew in with the wind or current, send an email to ellism@wmich.edu. You could even attach a picture. Be sure to identify yourself and your location. The item will be posted on this page. If you have lost something, check this webpage to see if someone has it at their beach.
