Reminder: BARGE ALERT Wednesday, July 18th

BARGE ALERT! WEEKS BRIDGE, Wednesday, July 18th, 7am to 3pm There will be a barge working on the navigation lights at Weeks Bridge on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 from 7AM to 3PM.  Notice from DCR folks.  We did have a conversation about how the river is used from bank to bank, barge lighting and barge parking, but it is very unlikely that this work will go beyond one day, so the barge parking should not be a factor.  Please read this notice through and share with your memberships. POWER BOATERS the barge will be working on the center navigation light and on the abutment lights as well.  Larger vessels  (and maybe even some not so large vessels) may not be able to fit through the arch during this work.  Please alert your members of this and recommend that they plan accordingly. NO WAKE speed only, for the safety of the workers on the barge who may be on a crane. ROWERS AND PADDLERS Please use RIGHT HAND ARCHES ONLY  from 7AM - 3PM or earlier if the barge is gone. Coaches - NO WAKE speed only, for the safety of the workers on teh barge who may be on a crane. Keep your eyes open for that barge moving upriver prior to 7AM and downriver later that day.  Thanks folks.  Your cooperation during this important work is greatly appreciated.
