Lake Conditions

· Jack Bakken reports that in discussions with Bill Dunkelberger, Ranger for the Arapahoe Forest Recreation Area, and Craig Magwire, Chief Ranger, it was learned that the lake is currently 54' below capacity. It is anticipated that the most that can be expected is that the water level will come up 25' at the high point of the season.

· The forest service indicates that it is likely the Stillwater ramp will not be available for launching boats; however, they have laid down some aircraft matting at Sunset Beach which will allow deep enough water for successful launchings. They further stated that they will be putting in a courtesy dock at Sunset Beach which should facilitate launching.

· Obviously we will not have the benefit of the gin pole this year if we are unable to launch at Stillwater. However, Sid Brugger, Jack Bakken and other long time sailors, indicate that there still should be ample water for a great sailing season. It is recommended that members consider getting a copy of the lake bottom map. We are told they are available at Rocky Mountain Boat Works and several sporting stores in the Grand Lake/Granby area.

Topics of Note

• A special memorial tribute was held on the Jensen's deck for past Commodore Chris Poole, culminating appropriately with a potato gun salute. Chris will be missed by those of us who shared many enjoyable raft-ups and other good times with the Pooles.
