Volunteers thank you - Volunteers had a wonderful time at their thank you BBQ on July 12th at the Gonnsen's Games Room – see below for a sample.  Many thanks to Steve Todd at Todd's Independent for supplying all the goodies. Please thank him when you're in the store! A big thank you also to Karl and Catharine for their hospitality!

911 Waterfront Signs - several years ago the association made the waterfront signs available at a discount.  The purpose is to help your friends find you, and also to be able to notify services in the case of an emergency. If you would like to order one for your property, please call Chris at Vista Signs (705) 457-9796 or email vistasigns@icloud.com. The price is still $20.00+HST!

Water Levels

• we’ve come through the historic high water, and levels have been dropping
• roughly speaking we’re back to to the level where we were before the heavy rains
• checked dam setting today – 6 1/2 logs in place (out of 7 total, 1 log = 12″), approximately 3″ of water flow over the top log, and no water flow to hydro plant
• at this setting, current water levels will be fairly stable
• note that more rain is forecast for the next several days – stay tuned

ENJOY!!

The June 30th Drag Lake Sailing Regatta was successfully held between storms.  There were favourable winds of 6-10 knots under mostly sunny skies with 11 boats participating.   The race consisted of a triangular course with the competitors racing around the marks – twice.  The Portsmouth Yardstick Handicap system was used to even out the chances of winning. The results were: Tom Platt and Rhonda Jordan in a Hobie 16 in Third place, Rod and Nancy McNair in an Invitation in Second place, and Greg and Rozalynd Platt in a Hobie 18 in First.  A great time was had by all.  Thank you to all who participated and to all who helped throughout the day.
