High/Fast Water Conditions

Ernie Alleva All Messages By This Member #179 Yankee Rowers, Just a follow-up to Craig's p.s. warning below regarding the river conditions: Due to all of the rain we've had the past few days, the river is unusually high/fast and quite dangerous right now. The club asks that members not row in club boats when the river flow speed on the Montague gauge is above 20 kcfs (20,000 cubic feet per second). The current river conditions are well above that now, around 43 kcfs: The kcfs flow speed numbers are along the righthand side of the graph. (The stage/ft. numbers along the lefthand side are for the river water height.) The current flow speed/height measure is at the center of the graph. The blue dots/ line on the left half of the graph are the numbers for the past few days, and the maroon dots/line on the right half are a forecast for the next few days (based on the weather forecast). When the river is back down to safer levels will depend on the weather, but it will likely take at least several days. Please check the river flow speed regularly and exercise caution when rowing. Best, Ernie toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 2021-07-18 18:44, zooey Schiff via groups.io wrote: YRC Double Rowers: To make it easier to take out the double, we placed a pair of heavy-duty Green slings near the outdoor rack, south of the Amherst boathouse. If you use those slings at the rack , it's easy to take off the cover, fold it and hang it on the rack itself. Because there are a lot of dogs running around on site, you'll want to keep the cover off the ground. On the way back up from the water, you can stop at the YRC boathouse, wash and dry the boat, and then take it to the Winn-Tech outside rack for covering. Because our cover has straps with snap-ends all along the boat, this will keep it nicely covered and protected. Feel free to raise and lower the oarlocks with the yellow bushings. Let me know if there are any problems or questions. Craig PS I would use caution on the river this week. Check the river height and current and avoid getting in serious trouble.
