Clearance and low wake zone please!
It has been great seeing the weed harvester out so much, but please give this machine ample clearance and as little wake as possible. We have had several boats coming in very close and circling the harvester to investigate, but the wake they create means we are susceptible to damage by unexpected rocking. Reminder that we are pulling from the bottom so if we see boats approaching closely we are lifting from the lake bed and not harvesting properly because we don’t want to damage the machine.
One of the concerns brought up at the annual CLA meeting was regarding an increase in mail theft in the area.
While we would love to believe this doesn’t happen in our neighborhood, we are all hearing the increasing trend on our news feeds and, unfortunately, some of us have even experienced this personally.
We have a new baby on the lake! This family was spotted off the end of Birch Point Road in the bay. The pictures are quite zoomed in to give the family space. Please be mindful of their space as we watch this little one grow.
As we quickly enter loon nesting season, we have placed our 3 loon nesting platforms from last year’s Eagle Scout project with the Proctor BSA troop #84. We have tried 3 locations close to shore but away from land predators. As you kayak and boat in the areas around our lake you will see the platforms by the Work Farm shoreline, Birch Point creek inlet, and at the little creek at the end of Sunny Lane. Please give the platforms and loons space to help preserve this beautiful bird.
We have entered the spring and summer lake season and the inevitable work we all have to do to put docks in and maintain our lake places each year. We are also quickly approaching weed harvesting season and the many expenses that come with running, fueling, and maintaining the weed harvester that has helped our lake so much over the last couple seasons.
One easy way you can help is setting your Amazon purchases to use Amazon Smile and benefit our lake association.
