There has been some flooding at the boathouse ( yes again)...Mark Kinsman, Pat Keegan, Hartmut Buschbacher, Jack Fish and the Jrs helped to get many boats out of harms way. Thanks to all who participated. I am looking for winter storage options and will keep you informed. However, as a reminder, if you own equipment it is your responsibility to get your equipment out of the boathouse in the event of flooding or other emergencies. LRC does not assume any responsibility for privately owned equipment.

For the first time we managed to get all the boats out BEFORE we were standing in water and walking or swimming the boats out. Many thanks to all members who showed up called (and uncalled) ready to help:
Ann Cater, Barb Connelly, Michael Connors, Joseph Cook, Tammy Cook, Megan Cooke, James Crichton,Hilary Cumber, Deborah Deimling (Junior), Diane Dickerson, Peter Ewing,Jenny Hetzler, Megan Holman, llison King, Mark Kinsman, Steve Krug, Christine Krug, Andrew Krug, Montie Schmiege,Sue Soltau,Dan Williams,Christine Buschbacher,Hartmut Buschbacher, and the CJR program with their coaches Mary and Billy....
For sure the organization of help needs a little more finetunig, this time we just called and hoped for help. Almost everybody showed up, so that was a really nice surprise. And a lot of hands made short process of the work. FYI, some started at 3pm, some at 4pm, so by 5pm ( the normal time one can show up when working ) we had already progressed a lot. Next time (maybe we will get a break and it will be some years...) we will try to start all at the same time.
Let me know what you think how we can organize the flood clean out better.
Below some pictures from the latest flood:
