Water Rising

According to the River Forecast, water levels will continue to rise in the Quispamsis-Saint John district for the next two days. The forecast does not go beyond that. By Thursday the water level is expected to be 0.5 m below 2005 levels. We will have to wait until Wednesday to find out if it has peaked or not.

I see that a number of boats have been moved at the club as of 6:00 PM this evening. For those who haven't made it down, the water is over parts of the paved road to the club at high tide.

It should also be noted that there are some small boats / dingys that could be floating when the water goes up. In fact there is one wooden boat upside down that is fully surrounded by the river water.

***Please stay tuned for updates on the potential need for work parties for the weekend. ***
