Evidently, some of you are waiting for the Warning Gun to sound before you race down to your vessel and start your Launch preparations. As you get ready, a few things to please keep in mind:
- Power is available now in the Yard. If you’re not finding it, double-check the GFCI socket first then look for a Staff member to help out.
- Running water will take a little more time, stay tuned for more details. (There is, however, plenty of cold water just a bucket away)
- We will arrange for extra bins but at this time of year, they fill quickly. If you can handle getting your tarp home for disposal, please do.
- Remember that NSC has strict Environmental Protection rules. If you’re sanding material off your boat, make sure that dust and debris are properly contained and disposed of.
About the weather: Common wisdom is that the ice leaves the NSC Harbour about a week after the Ottawa River breaks up. The River has changed substantially in a week but is still pretty solid.
As I mentioned in the TellTale, it’ll be a close call this year, please stay tuned for any details.
