[J22-Fleet 1] Fw: [Fleets] Zebra Mussels

[Thorn Turner]

Fleet 1,

Please see note from Dallas below on zebra mussels and your responsibilities 
when hauling out.  Read it, learn it, live it.  It will impact the entire club 
if there are any incidents.  And yes, we all know that the boats aren't going 
anywhere else anytime soon but let's get in the habit of doing this, the zebras 
are here to stay.

Board and FC's, 

We're at the beginning of haul out season and I wanted to recap the message 
regarding Zebras we need to convey to our members. 


When hauling or launching your boat ensure the following

	1. Clean Hull

	2. Dry Bilge 
Our crane should make it very easy to inspect for these items. Some boats have 
places were Zebras could maybe hide, it is your responsibility to consider this 
and inspect. 


WYC will have a power-washer available this spring should you find a huge 
infestation of zebras (you won't). Anything our sailboats might have should be 
able to be brushed off. 


Permits are available should you have to transport your boat from WYC with bilge 
water in the hull or creatures on the hull. Personally, I strongly discourage 
this as it's too easy to simply do the job properly before you leave.
