Boating Season is Underway

Picture
Finally we have a little nice weather and my phone has been ringing off the hook with people wanting the gate code so they can get their boats out.  Seems like it's been a long time coming.  The lake temp is still on the chilly side (56 Degrees) but it won't be long and we'll be pulling out the old swim suit. I've noticed that some of the younger more hearty have already been up on their boards. 

When launching your boat don't forget to remove all restraining straps and put in the drain plug. It's also a good idea to make sure it starts before un-hooking from the trailer.  Also now's the time to make sure to run a safety inventory. here... Before starting the engine make sure the engine compartment is well ventilated.  There are some submerged rocks just to the east of the ramp so be sure to back well away of the shore before turning east. Finally make sure to lock the gate and return the key as you leave.

Have a fun boating season and please make safety your number one priority!

We had to move our website so hopefully I will get it all back up and working.  Somethings will be similar but since its a new build somethings will be different and hopefully better.  If you have any observations or ideas please let me know.  I plan on changing and tweaking things as I progress.

The Home page is where it all begins. The "site map" lists links to most of the pages on the site. Also at the top of the page is a tabs bar which are also links to the same pages. You can click on the first tab or hover over it and click on any of the related links in the drop down menu. Once you leave the home page this will be your main means of navigation.

You can now register your boat online and upload your proof of ownership. (here)
Or you can still print a form in the documents page.

So wander around the site, most of the old stuff is still here but eventually there will be more and better things.

Get Your Boat Ready For Spring
From Ericka Watson, About.com Guide

It's never too early to begin thinking about spring maintenance and getting your boat ready for the summer season. Even if the ground is still frozen, your boat is under a layer of snow, or it's too cold to perform de-winterizing tasks, you can still make a spring commissioning to-do list for your boat. By gathering all the materials now, on that first nice day of spring, you'll be ready to take advantage of the warmer weather and be able to get your boat in the water that much faster.

What things should go on the to-do list and the shopping list? Well, first, think about the de-winterizing activities of engine maintenance. If you didn't winterize your engine before the cold weather, or perform and oil and filter change, you will want to do that now. You'll also want to flush the cooling system and test the batteries.

Inspecting the hull, vinyl, and brightwork will also be a priority. You will want to stock up on cleaners, waxes and repair materials. If your hull is dull, follow a gelcoat repair or maintenance plan to get the shine back.

Don't forget to inspect your lines and your safety gear such as lifejackets, electronics, etc. You may need to replace your flares if they are expired or have your fire extinguisher re-charged.

By thinking through the details now, you will be organized and ready when the warm weather hits with a shiny, well-maintained boat.

Lake Trail

We are lucky to have such a nice bike and walking trail around the lake.  I've put up this video because now I have that ability and also because it makes allot of sense.  I hope you enjoy.

Dear residents,


I'd like to welcome the new residents to the lake that have moved in this past year or are planning on moving in this summer. If you are planning on putting a boat on the water this season make sure it meets the guidelines in the covenants or give me a call and we can discuss it. Once you have the boat we need to get a lake registration number for it and then I can get you a sticker for the boat and access instructions for the boat ramp. 

Once again I want to stress safety. It only takes one careless person to spoil boating for everyone. Before boating this season, take time to review the “Lake rules” in the covenants and to read the safety guidelines on our website. If you're under 26 and want to operate a jet ski or boat you must pass a boaters safety course, this is a state requirement. You can take this course at any age and I encourage everyone to do so. There will be some offered in April; there is a link on the safety page that will take you to the listings. 

The Home Owners assoc. is the owner of the gas pump. This means we are  responsible for the liability and maintenance of the pumping station. So I'd like to put forth some info concerning the use of the gas dock some of which you may or may not be aware:

  • The fueling station is there as a convenience, the pump may be shut off if this privilege is abused in any way.
  • Always tie your boat up to the dock when fueling. Always attend the nozzle and never prop it open.
  • After swiping your card remember to push the yellow button before you begin fueling.
  • If there are no words or numbers in the pump monitor windows this means the pump needs to be reset the reset button is located by the door on the small white building to the north of the pump. Simply open the cover and push the button and replace the cover. If this does not help give Rich a call at 510 9039.
  • If there is a fire or some other emergency there is a shut down button located inside the fire extinguisher box just north of the pump, there is also one on the building to the north. Also on the south side of the building there is a red box if you open the box you will see a telephone receiver pick it up and it will call 911 automatically. The address is Newport Landing Circle off of Highway 36.
  • If you see a boat at the gas dock try to stay clear and slow as much as possible when passing.
 If you keep track of the fuel you use for your boat I understand you can claim a tax refund from the state at the end of the year. 

Thanks for reading this letter and remember “THINK” “BE COURTEOUS”
