As of Friday, Nov 5, the Yankee Rowing Club season for rowing club boats
is closed.? The water temperature is below 50F, the air temperature is almost
always below 50F.? ?Some nights are below freezing, which will freeze the water
in the hose for washing boats.? And although it will of course subside, the
river is too high at the moment.

The boathouse will be accessible during the winter, though at some point
the water in the bathrooms will be turned off.

Also, in the coming weeks, we will move some boats from the outdoor rack
into the boathouse.? ?We may not have room for all of them.? If you have a boat
on the rack and a way to store it elsewhere for the winter, it would be
very helpful if you could move it soon.? You may leave your boat on the
rack for the winter if you wish.

I want to warmly thank you all for, as a group, running the club smoothly.
We have some conventions and a few rules, but the real strength of
the club is everyone's cheerful cooperation.??

Thank you.

Hi Ernie,
I hope all is well.
I did what you said to have my name taken off the email list, but emails still keep coming through.
Please let me know who I should contact about it.
Thank you....happy Fall!

Yankee Rowers,

It got quite chilly last night, and this morning there was frost on the

dock and on the wooden ramp going down to the dock. It was quite

slippery in places. So, as it gets colder in the coming days, please be

extra careful using the ramp and dock. (The hardtop portion of the ramp

doesn't get frost as readily. So, when there is frost on the ramp, it

may be a bit safer to use the hardtop going down to the dock.)

Best,

Ernie

Yankee Membership,

I just wanted to give a shout out to our boatman, Craig Schiff.? Days?after the club Fluid 2X experienced a dislodged skeg and damaged skeg box (from a collision with a floating log), Craig arranged for transport of the shell on a UMASS trailer destined for the Head of the Charles regatta.? Craig had contacted Fluid Design, which would also be at the regatta, and they indicated they may well be able to repair the skeg box and reset the skeg including laser alignment during the regatta weekend.? Craig went to the race and arranged transfer of the shell to the Fluid tent, then back to the UMASS trailer the next day.? The Fluid 2X is fully repaired and back home.? All at no expense to Yankee.

Good show I say!

August 23, I was given an anterior left hip replacement, which is supposed to have the quickest recovery of the various methods. New England Baptist has hip replacements down as smoothly as a Ford assembly line. I was on my way home 22 hours after the operation and walking around and climbing stairs without a cane in 6 weeks. Should be ready to row next spring. Life is grand.
