Craig,

Hey…I am sorry I never got back to you on this one and I am sorry to have learned about Andy Larkin. You all never will be problematic for us so thank you for checking . In general we will train Mon, Tues, Wed, and Friday with a 7am launch and an 845 landing. On Thursday we will launch at 5:45 and land around 730-745. Saturdays we plan 745 launch-945 land

Look forward to seeing you down at the BH!

Cheers

Would anyone object to me replacing one of the toilets with one that is modern and works? ?

?Thank’s Ernie.

Just one observation regarding the toilets. I was having difficulty flushing the toilet in the small bathroom so I picked inside the water tank to see what was going on. I discovered that someone had put a bottle full of water in the tank - I imagine in order to lower the volume of the tank, thus decreasing the amount of water needed to fill it. I don’t know if this was us or Gary, but this obviously impacts the flushing of the toilet.?

Yankee Rowers,

Some boathousekeeping reminders:

Please be sure to fully flush the toilets in the bathrooms after using them. Sometimes they don't fully flush and need a second or third flush.

?

Please be sure to shut the sink faucets in the bathrooms all of the?way off. ?(One was left running yesterday in the "Men's" bathroom.)?

?

One of the club bow lights (with the rubber suction cups) is missing. They're stored in the clear plastic container on the shelf below the logbook. If you misplaced it somewhere in the boathouse or took it home mistakenly, please return it to the plastic container.?

?

Thanks very much.

At the end of this email I've posted information we have about the rowing schedules for most of the college crews and for the Northampton Community Rowing crews. If I get additional information, I'll send out further announcements.

Please be extra careful on the water, keeping an eye out for boats, buoys, trees, rocks, sandbars, bridges, and docks near and behind you. Please stay on the appropriate side of the river while rowing: going upstream, stay toward the Hadley side of the river; going downstream, stay toward the Northampton/Hatfield side of the river. And please be extra careful when rowing under the bridges--it can be hard to see boats behind you there, and crosscurrents and eddies can make rowing there difficult. Also, the U/Mass men's crew launch from their dock on the Northampton side of the river behind Ellwell Island, and they sometimes row across the river near or under the bridges before going upstream--it can be easy not to see them coming across the river. And about a mile upstream from the marina, Northampton Community Rowing boats often cross the river after launching from their dock just before the turn in the river at the Honeypot.?

As all of you know, for much of this season the river water has been unusually high and fast. As the water comes down, there are likely to be new sandbars and submerged tree stumps and other debris in various places on the river that you will need to watch out for.

There are no simple guidelines to determine when it is (relatively) safe to row. River flow speed and level, wind speed and wind direction, water and air temperature, precipitation and visibility conditions, the particular boat being rowed, and, of course, the individual rower's experience and skill, are all relevant factors. That said, by way of some general guidelines, we recommend that rowers check the river conditions regularly at the National Weather Service Montague gauge, and we ask that members not row in club boats when the flow speed measurement at the National Weather Service Montague gauge is above 20 kcfs (i.e., 20 thousand cubic feet per second). You can access the recent Montague gauge measurements at this National Weather Service website: 

(The flow speed numbers are along the right hand side of the graph. The blue line on the left half of the graph is the observed flow over the past three days, and the maroon line on the right half of the graph is the forecast flow for the next three days. The accuracy of the forecasts can vary considerably.) 

You can get up-to-date weather information via Weather Underground at: 

The "hourly" page for each day is especially helpful--it contains hour-by-hour forecast information.)

If you row when it's dark, please use a red/green bow light on your boat. (If you don't have your own light, there are some club lights with rubber suction cups stored in a white bucket on the bottom shelf below the logbook.) 

Sorry for the long email. I hope this is helpful. Happy and safe rowing!

Best,

Ernie

Yankee Rowers,?

The?college?crews?will be returning to the river soon--in the next week or two. There will be quite a few rowers on the river most mornings and most weekdays later in the afternoon. So, things may get busy and a bit congested around the boathouses and docks. Please be considerate, flexible, and patient getting on and off the water.?

At the end of this email I've posted information we have about the rowing schedules for most of the college crews and for the Northampton Community Rowing crews. If I get additional information, I'll send out further announcements.
