about eronsion on Lake Martin and what is to blame.  Many perspectives are presented.  I came away with the impression that if you are a homeowner, your concerns are not at the top of anyone's list.  One thing I found amusing - Alabama Power says that in order to keep your boat in your boathouse from being damaged by wakes - you should be able to tie it on all four corners to prevent it from touching the dock.  I find this ironic, because when we built our boathouse, Alabama Power required our architect to reduce the size of our boat slips to the point where there is not more than 5 inches of space from the docking.  We just have to keep our boat lifted out of the water to solve that problem.  They also would not allow us to have a secondary walk way from our seawall to the boat house - about 5 feet, because we would be "enclosing water", but the truth is that I have yet to see a fisherman or a boater access that little space.
