Lake Announcements and Alerts

As mentioned at the buoy drawing meeting, CruisingLakeHarriet is going to provide an alert/ announcement service to any interested sailors on Minneapolis lakes. All you have to do is subscribe to the CLH mailing list, and provide your sailing lake, and optionally your buoy number. This information, which will be kept private, will be used to selectivity send you emails regarding your lake. This may include informational updates, or alerts regarding safety and security of boats. You can sign up for the mailing lists now. There is also a form that will allow sailors to post information that will be shared to the other sailors on the respective lakes. This can include everything from gathering announcements, lost and found, to security reports. You can subscribe in the right column, under Sign Up For updates, or simply follow this link HERE

Also, if you use Twitter, I will make every effort to tweet out alerts. I only use Twitter on this site to announce site updates and do alerts, so you will not be bombarded with tweets. At least not from me.

    The Lake Harriet Yacth Club operates a web cam of the lake on our web site: lhycsailing.com Check it out.

    It's great to check out the conditions remotely. We are planning on getting a second web cam going to show a different angle.

    Besides racing we also support the Adaptive Sailing program for disabled sailors and the Opti program for young sailors. More information is on the web site.

    John,

    Thx for the post. Great to hear about the second cam. As you can see, I have the current still image from you cam on my home page, and a link to the live imagery as well. Let me know more about the 2nd cam as it comes more real.

    Jefferson,

    What a great offer. Did you really mean that for everyone? If you see a boat in distress, it might be easier on you to send the blog an email, and then it will send out an alert. But your call!

DNR map of Lake Harriet

Image
The Minnesota DNR publishes a bottom contour map of Lake Harriet. Although not really intended for ship navigation, it shows good anchorage locations and is handy to have on-board. It also shows that unlike Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet is uniformly deep, and that means that is is mostly free of the nasty Milfoil that plagues its sister lake. The full-size map in PDF format is HERE . FYI, a map of Lake Calhoun is  HERE .  If you own a Garmin handheld GPS and are interested in a FREE depth chart of the lakes, be sure to see this post HERE .

Motors - Electric only!

Image
One of the biggest challenges faced by cruisers on Lake Harriet is the prohibition of Outboards. Because gas motors are NOT allowed by the city, you have to use an electric trolling motor. In almost any sense this is a compromise, as a typical 50-lb thrust motor generates the equivalent of about 0.75HP. For anyone used to having their boat pushed around with a 8HP motor, this can be daunting. In practice, however, it is rare when it becomes a problem on Lake Harriet, as we all go back to mooring buoys, which we can sail to. The size of the lake allows getting to the lee side in a strong blow. The biggest challenge is power management. The motor will be the biggest draw on your boat's 12V system, and a dead battery means either no way to get home, or no lights for the evening sail. You have for factor in how you plan to keep it charged. See this related article on power management HERE. . Regarding size, choose a 50-LB thrust as a minimum, and look at 24v as opposed to less effici...

Keeping an eye on swimmers

Image
Maybe it's just me, but it seems there are a LOT more people free-swimming across the lakes. I'm sure it is people training for the triathlons, and I didn't give it much thought until last night, when we almost ran over one. We were reaching at about 5 knots, sitting on the low side to induce some heel when we quickly slipped by a swimmer. We didn't see him, and he didn't hear us. I don't know who was more surprised, but I DO know who was in more danger. There was over 20 boats on the lake last evening. Under these conditions, swimming in the open water is just dangerous. I knew the MPRB was thinking about setting up open swim areas, but was pretty sure they had not done so. I called them, and they confirmed that open swimming was illegal, and pointed me to THIS page on their site. In addition, that told me I should call 911 to report swimmers. I'm not sure that I'll do that, but I would really hate to hit one, or even come close. I don't know ...
