[Sonar] Fwd: WYC Crane and Haul out update

[Thomas Brown]

All:

Please see the email from Andy below.

One minor correction,  I'm sure he meant that the rocket crane would be on
10/23 and not 9/23.

I was able to pull out with Tim and Todd yesterday and had to pull the bow
line pretty hard to get the boat into the crane slip.      While there are
boats that draw more than us that will cut a groove in the mud, the water
is not rising as much as I think we were anticipating.

Hello All. Here’s an update on the crane and haul out.

Bad news: The spare part has still not arrived. Like everyone else, we are
suffering from issues in the supply chain.
Good news: Todd and Tim Carlson have been able to get the crane to work in
a limited way.

So, we’re planning for an assisted haulout THIS Sunday. Tim or Todd MUST be
present to operate the crane for you to prevent it from overheating,
although there are NO GUARANTEES. It is going to take everyone being well
prepared, and patient to make this work.

First – please sign up here. https://www.wyc.org/dib_sessions/show/44036
(note, if you had previously signed up, I had to overwrite those sign-ups
with this new schedule. Please sign up again. Sorry)

Second - you MUST be properly prepared. Mast down, trailer ready, lines
ready, gear off by the time you reach the crane. There simply will not be
time for you do that at the crane. I highly recommend you consider taking
your mast down on the previous day, then motor back to your slip. This will
minimize congestion at the gin pole.

Third – if there is any way you can haul out via the ramp, or elsewhere on
the lake, please consider doing that so as to alleviate congestions at the
WYC facilities.

Additionally, we do plan to have the Rocket Crane here on Saturday 9/23.
Same preparedness rules will apply.

Believe me. I realize none of this is ideal. If we were sailing offshore in
a storm, we’d reef the main, put up the number 3, and figure out which kite
to fly. We’d adjust to the conditions. That’s what we’re doing here, and
we’ll all get across the finish line safely.

Thanks in anticipation of your cooperation.

Andy
