BOATER SAFETY:  FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

7/19/2020

0 Comments

 
This information is from Summer Shores, Summer 2020
All vessels, including personal watercraft, are required to have a Type B fire extinguisher on bard if one or more of the following conditions exist:
  • Closed compartments under seats where portable fuel may be stored.
  • Closed storage in which flammable or combustible  materials may be stored.
  • Double-bottoms not sealed to the hull or that are not completely filled with flotation material.
  • Closed living spaces.
  • Permanently installed fuel tanks.
Approved types of fire extinguishers are identified by the "Marine Type USCG Approved" label followed by the type and size symbols and the approval number.

Extinguishers should be placed in an accessible area where they can be reached immediately and not near the engine or in a compartment. Be sure you know how to operate the extinguisher and inspect extinguishers regularly to ensure they are in working condition and that they are fully charged and ready for use.

2020 LOWIA JULY 4 BOAT PARADE

7/6/2020

1 Comment

 
​We had a great turnout for the 2020 LOW boat parade!  Right before the start at 6:00 pm the west side of the lake had a pretty good rain downpour, but the storm blew out shortly after that for another hot evening. 
Eleven boats were cruising around the lake all decorated for the parade. 
First place went to the Bathe family with an Ice Cream theme, ice cream truck music was great, 
Second place went to the Wesaw family with Hollywood movie nights theme, popcorn, movie tickets, an usher with a bow tie,
Third place was the Younker family with the boot scootin’ boogie theme, and Younkers did it again by dancing around the whole lake NONSTOP, 
Fourth place was the Sharon Neubauer family with an Independence Day theme,
Fifth place was the Bill Neubauer family with the Good Ship Lollipop theme. 
We also had two boats participate representing Lake of the Woods and Greenwood camps on our lake, One was Statue of Liberty and the other one was Ragged Old Flag by Johnny Cash.  We had the Harns family with a Covid-19 theme, Schultz family with American Spirit, Boonstra family with a USA theme.
Last boat entered was the Morehouse family with a Newlywed theme, and they actually got married yesterday and even were dragging cans on a string behind their boat.  Congrats guys! 
Lake of the Woods Improvement Association wants to give a thanks to Jim Rau from Apollo Marine in Lawton MI for donating this years parade prizes. 
SEE EVERYONE NEXT YEAR!!

Parade participates are requested to muster and register at the north side of the lake.  Look for the boat with the Grand Marshal banner to receive your registration number and instructions at 6:00 pm, but NO LATER THAN 6:15 FOR A PROMPT 6:30 BOAT PARADE START.  
 
Merchandise certificates courtesy of High’s Marine in Decatur, and Apollo Marine in Lawton,  and the Lake of the Woods Improvement Association will be awarded to the top 5 boats. We look forward to your participation in making this the best Boat Parade EVER.  Please join us.  Let’s try and make this the year that will top 2009, when we had 20 boats participate!
 
PLEASE JOIN US THIS YEAR !!!!!!
