[Morc] WYC Haul-Out update, Crane closed Monday and Tuesday

[myersmn4]

The crane failed this morning due to the low temperature and haul out was canceled for today.Assisted Haul out will be attempted tomorrow.At 4pm the temperature climbed to 33 degrees and the crane began to function. Any temperature below 40 degrees the crane has a history of issues. It is not designed to handle these conditions.If the "Out of Order" sign is on the panel, do not attempt to use the crane. The crane will be closed Monday and Tuesday.If you attempt to use the crane for self use Wed - Fri in the anticipated cold :The crane tends first to fail rotating from over the water to over the parking lot under load.There is a risk your boat could get stuck half way over the water at temps below 40 F.Test the crane in all directions before attempting to lift your boat.Read the updated Crane Instructions on Wyc.org.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

Which means I suspect WYC will be busy this weekend.  However, we still have a global pandemic raging. Now is NOT the time to be complacent.  So, a few polite reminders.Masks and Distancing are required – its cold so you’ll be glad of your mask anywayCheck-ins are also still essential to aid contact tracing.If you plan to use the crane yourself, you must sign up herehttps://www.wyc.org/dib_sessions/show/39036 Remember only two trailers in the lot at any one timeIf you want assistance operating the crane, you must sign up herehttps://www.wyc.org/dib_sessions/show/39035 Three trailers max. One at the crane. One at the washdown. One making ready to leave.Todd will do his best to keep the hallway to the crane and the area around the crane free of ice by idling one of the wailers.  Also, remember the crane can be temperamental in temperatures below 40-degrees: we’re well below that.If we all act like good and considerate humans, we’ll get through this haul-out and return as friends next season.As a UK friend said to me yesterday. Stay positive. Test negative.That’s it, see you out there tomorrow.Andy
