According to theU.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers the lakes are forecast to begin rising. See theexcerpt below fromApril 3, 2014: LakesSuperior andMichigan-Huronare15and13 inches, respectivelyabove their levelsof a year ago. LakesSt. Clair andErieare10and6 inches, respectively, above what theywereat this time last year, whileLakeOntario is near its level of a year ago. LakesSuperior andMichigan-Huronare predicted to climb3 and5 inches, respectively, over thenext 30 days. LakesSt. Clair andEriearebothprojected to rise 4and5 inches, respectively in thenextmonth, whileLakeOntariowill rise 8 inches. Ice build-up in the connectingchannelscan cause significant water level fluctuations, especially inLakeSt. Clair.
This year wehavehada record cold, wet winter with ice cover on the lakes andheavy snow (precipitation) upnorth. Let’s hope that snowmelt increases the lake levels through the summermonths this year as projected.
Spring is hereand very soonwewill be visiting the Island tobeginwork getting ready toopen the club for the season. I for one can’t wait.
See youon the Island.
V/CBrianMcEvoy
Well, wearenowat minus 1day from launchasof thewritingof this article. However, I can’t launchbecause the lake is still icedover, whenwill spring show itself?Thewinter has taken its toll onme and my physique. The goodnews is that our TransportationDirector Pat Carroll hasaFin ready to go into thewater to start our EliteBrigade activities. If we can just dodge the icegettingback and forth to the island. Unfortunately, Sandi and I missedout on theMidland trip this year. We simply couldnot doeverythingwehadonour plate, familywon this time. TheMidlandbigwinnerswereGregandYvonneMurray, winning thebig screenTV prize. The prize that Sandi and I received formissing the tripwas that wewerehonored to attend theBlessing of theFleet withArt andSueBrooks. It was ahumblingexperience, I felt privileged to represent NCYC in the traditional event.
I know firsthand that themembershipput the clubhouseandgrounds to bed in very good condition last October. However, with theas of now, second roughest winter in recorded history, we can’t be surewhatMotherNaturehas done to us. Please comeand share in the EliteBrigadeweekendsand then in theworkweekends.We havea shorter time this year to get the facilities ready. It’s oneof themost fun times of the season for me. I enjoy the camaraderiewithmy fellowmembers and the feelingof the sweat equity that I earn from the effort. Come joinus!!
Let’s get theparty started……………….Thereain’t noparty likeaNorthChannel party!!!!!!!!!!!!
See you soon,
