March 2021 Beacon

From the Bridge – Vice Commodore Dale Hall Mother Nature treated us right through the entire month of January but, reality has set in and February is bringing us a very typical Michigan winter. Although the weather has turned harsh the water levels were dropping nicely until the ice

dams caused havoc for many in Algonac. The Coast Guard cutters worked diligently but, many people along the St. Clair River felt Mother Nature’s wrath in early February. We hope and pray that our friends and neighbors that have suffered water damage or displacement get relief quickly with a minimum about of damage. Knowing that these harsh winter days will turn into a milder March is what keeps us looking forward to boating season in Southeast Michigan. It will not be long and the great members of NCYC will be doing whatever it takes to make the island ready.

We want to give a special thank you to all members that have paid their 2021 dues. As a reminder, dues were payable during the month of January.
