I noticed a lot of you visiting the Board Minutes page recently, presumably looking for updates.
Minutes for a given month are approved at the next month’s meeting. But there are no meetings in July and August, so June’s were only approved at the September meeting.
They are now here.

Hazards to navigation – logs/deadheads
It has been brought to our attention that there have been a number of large logs (dead heads) found in the area.
Remember that logs can float both horizontally along the surface as well as vertically almost below the surface, and colliding with one of these can cause damage and/or injury.
Please keep a close watch out and travel at a safe speed.
