High/fast water danger
The heavy rain last night caused the river to go quite high/fast quickly, above a safe level:
The flow speed is the number along the righthand side of the graph. The upper limit for club boats is a flow of 20 kcfs. At 4:30 a.m. today, it was about 43 kcfs. Please wait for the flow to come back down before rowing. Best, Ernie |

Yankee Rowing: Boathouse Shower
Yankee Rowers,
Some of you may have noticed that there has been some water puddling near the toilet in the boathouse bathroom with the the shower in it. The marina management checked it out and they think that it's overflow from using the shower--either from the shower head, the shower basin, or the shower curtain. Those of you who use the shower, please use one of the green rugs on the floor next to the shower (and after using the rug, please hang it up on one of the towel racks in the bathroom so it dries out), and please clean up any water on the bathroom floor. Thanks very much. Best, Ernie |

High/Fast Water Conditions
Yankee Rowers,
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
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.

Hay time!!
开云体育Hay, Yankee rowers!It’s that time of year again…Sometime in the next week (or 2), I will be needing a couple of strong, athletic types, to help me get 200 bales of hay from Worthington into my barn in Westhampton (my truck/trailer). It’s hot, dirty work (and a REALLY good work out!) and depending on circumstances, may take 2-4 hours to do. Pay is $15/hour (and will be minimum of $50, regardless of time). I usually don’t know when it’ll take place, until I get a call from the hay guy the day before (sometimes, there’s more of a ‘heads up’.) If you are interested in lending a hand (or if you know of someone who is), please respond directly to my email (don’t reply to the list, please!) - Ferreejennifer@...? or text me at 413-575-6493. Individuals must have their own transportation to Westhampton, and preferably, over 18 years old. Thank you all! Jenn |

A seat pad was found in the river on Monday that I'm pretty sure was mine. It now has "YRC" written on it. Email me off list if you find it (efronhofer@...). Thanks! Elaine |

Two singles for sale
开云体育It's probably disingenuous to be circulating information about boats for sale when we'realmost entirely out of rack space (the outdoor rack is essentially fully committed). ?But these are nearby, and I know and trust Erik. Bob

Yankee Rowing Reminder: Boathouse Lockup Routines
Thanks very much for your note, Mike.
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
A reminder for everyone about the boathouse lockup routines: After using the key to open the main boathouse door, please remember to return the key to the metal lock box and then lock the key in the box. When someone is out rowing, the main door to the boathouse doesn't get locked: Please place the pink styrofoam bolster under middle of the main door and pull the door down so it rests on the bolster, leaving the door a few inches ajar--so it doesn't close all of the way and lock (and so it can be opened again without using key when returning from rowing). However, the last person on the water (you can tell by the log book) at whatever time of the day should close the main door all of the way down so that it locks. (And, then, the next person to arrive at the boathouse will unlock the lock box and use the key to open the door.) If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks very much.

Re: Yankee Rowing Reminder: Boathouse Key
Mike Ippolito
Ernie, Yes, that was me that left the key on the desk this morning, of course inadvertently. However the bigger issue is that when I arrived at 4:45 am the key was in the box, but the lock was hanging on the box, not locked up. We had some attempted theft last year so we all need to be cognizant?of locking up the boathouse at the end of the day.?

Thank you very much for your note. Yes, I saw that your boat is gone--I'm sorry that you are leaving us! Let me ask our treasurer about a partial year member fee and rack space fee--he figures these things out. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Best, Ernie On 2021-06-17 09:15, Jane Bryden wrote:
