The Lake is Dropping – If your Boat is on the Dock – Watch closely

The Corps is apparently dropping the lake as usual, at about 1/4 foot per day. If your boat is on the dock please consider removing it soon. Check the link for the current lake levels … Click Here !
Mediterranean Sailing
Bill Davis sent this along
Gary, a pretty serious sailor friend sent this to me.–thought the club
members might be interested. I have heard “the Med” can be hard to
handle because of its shallowness. It makes for hardy Mediterranean
sailors apparently. (I also wondered about the photographer!)

For all of you who plan to cruise the Med this fall, here’s a great

October Meeting Minutes
The meeting was opened by Commodore Bill Miller, with a shoutout to all past commodores in attendance, Doug, Barry, and Herb. Bill also thanked Doug Roberts for the successful Great Minnow Regatta, Thanks Doug!
We have heard that the Corp of Engineers may be postponing dropping the lake until around November 25th due to a Zebra Mussell control project, this will allow for more sailing and more season for all of us, which would be a welcome turn of events with the high water and high temps we had all year. I’ll try to confirm this with the Corp, and report back.

The Treasury is sound per Purser Sanders, we have some money and the bills have been paid.
In old Business, Herb Siewert will be driving his Model A in the Bowling Green Christmas Parade which will be held on December 4th. In lieu of a float he will be towing a Sunfish and will try to have a mention of POYC on the sail or on a banner. Please contact Herb to help with this effort.
