MAJOR CHANGE IN SCHEDULING: Boats on stands in boatyard will be loaded on flatbeds FIRST, then the crane will go to Pier to launch ALL boats, then hoist masts. This avoids crane having to leave Pier, go to boatyard then come back as done previously (two crane set ups instead of three).
Please advise of any scheduling problems so I can revise the final schedule to be issued next Wednesday May 16. [FINAL 2012 Schedule]
Oiseau Rock Squadron is planning to hold an RVCC training session in cooperation with the Ottawa Squadron, CPS. Our goal is to have 2-3 CPS members trained for each of the three areas serviced by Oiseau Rock Squadron – Pembroke, Petawawa and Deep River.
Anyone willing to do courtesy checks and take the required RVCC training should contact Ross Judd by email at *protected email* or by phone at 613-584-4418.
The launch date this year will be Thursday May 17, starting at 10:00 as usual.
This could be another low water level year at launch time…
Please advise Phil Simpson if you regularly join us but WILL NOT be launching or need to launch but will be away, etc..
Also advise if you know of someone else/new who will need the crane to launch.
Otherwise I will assume you WILL be launching when I issue a draft schedule for review in early May.
Thanks
Phil

Hello Everyone!
Well winter has finally arrived and although the snow makes everything look beautiful outside, it makes the days of boating seem further away than ever! To help ease that feeling the Oiseau Rock Power and Sail Squadron is having a Winter Rendezvous on Saturday February 4th from 4-7:30 pm. Bring your favourite beverage and a hot or cold hors d’oeuvres/finger food. The Squadron will supply dessert and tea or coffee. Ross and Carole Judd have graciously offered their home for the event (349 McAnulty, Deep River). There is plenty of parking for everyone! Ross has an area to put up photos etc. from past boating adventures for everyone to enjoy during the evening. So if you have some to contribute, please contact him at 613-584-4418 or email moc.a1337590734ssora1337590734c@ddu1337590734j.sso1337590734r1337590734. Come out and reminisce with your fellow boaters about the warm weather and the wonderful times boating over the summer. We want to make sure we have enough dessert for everyone so please RSVP to Ross by Tues, Jan 31.
Welcome to the Oiseau Rock Squadron blog! This is a new venture for us as we attempt to make our web presence more interactive. Please join in the conversation about boating on the Ottawa!
Please note that comments and posts may not appear immediately as we try to filter out the junk that has become such a major part of the web. Thank you for your understanding.
