Greetings Racers! Hope everyone is staying cool, did see one boat out on Austin Lake Monday night, trying to practice for week #7 with the winds out there!
Found this little blurb while checking the weather forecast for tomorrow….
Winter hasn’t ended everywhere in North America – just ask one lodge owner in the eastern Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Located about 600 miles northeast of Caribou, Maine, areas near the Igloo Lake Lodge in Labrador remain buried under six feet of snow, locals told CBC News. The deep snow cover, which has persisted after a snowstorm struck parts of the province earlier in the month, has been a late-spring surprise for lodge operators who say they’re usually getting the summer activities started by now. Further down in the report, they still have ice on Igloo Lake….imagine that on a day like today!!
Watch the social media and email tomorrow to see about racing because the forecast calls for Cloudy with occasional showers in the afternoon. High 79F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Lastly, I posted this on FB earlier – ALCA has lost one of their founding members, Sue Geerligs passed away on June 5. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, July 17 at Lakeland Reformed Church from 7:00-9:00 pm. Hence, racing for that night will be cancelled. Sue and her husband, Jim were very instrumental in our fleet start up and will be missed. Here is the link – http://obits.mlive.com/obituaries/kalamazoo/obituary.aspx?n=sue-geerligs&pid=189325946
