    Clay,

    This boat is a steal at $12K. If I didn't already have a 235, I'd be writing you a check right now.

Vandals On Lake Harriet Strike Again

Image
I have to report that sadly, a boat has been damaged by mindless vandals again on Lake Harriet. Unbelievably, it has happened to one of the boats that was heavily damaged in last August's attack. This time, they broke into a forward hatch, climbed in, and after drinking some beer they brought with them and smoking some pot, ransacked the boat. I LOST a boat in that last attack, so writing this post makes me feel ill. And as bad as this all is, there are several factors that make this even more disturbing. 1) It could have been prevented. The MPRB tenders were NOT locked up last Friday night, and the punks used the tender to row over to the first big boat that could get to. Like Annie mentions in her email, if you DO NOT HAND the tender to another buoy holder, you must lock it back up. No exceptions. You now see what can happen if you do not. 2) Unlike a pure theft of property, these attacks are almost 'mindless'. They want in more then they want you stuff, but they wil

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

2011 Registration Begins, with Big Rule Changes!

Image
Its February, and we all know what that means! Winter is more than 1/2 over, and even more importantly, Minneapolis Lakes Buoy Registration has begun. The program is very similar to past years in regard to how buoys are assigned (see HERE for details), but there are some very notable changes.Here we go, from small to big: 1) There is a new electronic registration system.  You have to enroll to use it. It is all rather easy, and the one change that came out of that is you can now wait to midnight of the day of the drawing to complete your registration. The old deadline was several days before. 2) Price increase and taxi service The buoy rates have gone up this year by $50. Part of this increase will go to pay for better tender maintenance program, and the big news is a water TAXI service from the docks to Harriet and Calhoun boats during peak hours. Details and hours of operation are being worked out, but the plan is to use a small launch with a powerful electric motor to ferry
