Port Captain Report May

Memorial Day regattas coming up and I would like to requests for everyone to get their boats out of the center parking area. So if you were not planning to put your boat in the next several weekend would you please move it to the back row along the fence on the west side of the grounds, but as this weekend is going to be in the 80’s it would be a good time to float your boat.

The floating dock no longer have hinge pins and hair clips. All of the floating docks now have through bolts and washers. Also I have received picture of the space between the fingers and main dock section. We have filler boards that fit in that area, but if you did not take care of your finger they may have floated away with winter storms. If they are not stored on the ground then please make new ones. If you do not know how to do that Please contact Paul Stephens or myself and we will tell you how to go about creating a new filler board.

Remember as we move into the summer months to keep the area around your boat clean and cut the grass. This also means the people that have their boatson the back lot. And look at the little bits of trash that may blow into your area. If we all just pick up the little bit then no one has to pick up a lot. And it only takes a second for all of us to pick up one item and throw it away. And please take your empty cans and bottles home or to the recycle next to the clubhouse, as we do not have anyone picking up the empties at this time.

And as always check your OR registration and make sure you are up to date. We have several Lasers and other boats that do not have current registration stickers, or no registration stickers, please check yours. As we have stated in pass news letters we will be making the rounds and checking boats for current OR stickers and if it is not up to date you will be losing that moorage.

And the last thing to address: the travel trailers be sure that the club has a key to your door, that you have an operational 10lb fire extinguisher (see moorage rule 17 page 62 of the new rule book) , and no extension cords on the deck (see moorage rule 17 e. page 62. Trailer committee, Paul Morrow, and I will be doing the inspection of the trailers On May 20 th so please make sure that Paul Morrow has a set of keys for you trailer.

See you at the Lake
