Subject:    Boat Launch

Good morning,
Just an update on the boat launch – 
One slip will be open, vehicles must use the “exit” to enter and exit the parking lot. Please be mindful that next week they will be removing the sand beginning Wednesday, so there may be another interruption in the use of the launch at that time. I will do my best to keep you informed ~ but always feel free to call here or have your boat club members call to check the status.

Thanks,
Ann

RE:     BOAT LAUNCH IS OPEN

The Hammond Marina is now CLOSED to us for free launching, of course unless you are a Hammond Resident.

Our Boat Launch is now OPEN for business, the dredging is completed. For now please use the shorter launch, which is the North launch.

Only use the exit access to launch and to exit the facility for now.

The slips are off limits until they get the barge out of the water.

The channel leading to the lake is approximate 5 foot deep and about 30 foot wide at the choke point. The harbor area is deeper, 8-10 feet. The City will mark the lane with port and starboard buoys on either Tuesday, May 22, 2018 or Wednesday, May 23, 2018 as they did last year.

RE:    PARKING STICKERS

Please have your WRBC parking stickers displayed on your windshield or you may be towed.

RE:    SANDBAGS

Keep in mind the sandbags are going to be emptied at some point in the next week or two. When this occurs, you will not be able to launch.  Please comply with the City's request.

RE:    VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

There are sign up sheets at the boat club for the Kids Fishing Day Outing and the upcoming Jet Ski Race on August 4 & 5, 2018.

If you are available please sign up for one or both.  We definitely need volunteers for both events especially the Kids Fishing Day

Outing to be held on June 2, 2018 from 9AM to 12 Noon at the Hammond Marina.

Thank you in Advance.
