News from around the club:
Since the last news letter there have been several big
weekend events at SMBC: Putting on the Ritz, Open
Hatch Party, All American Cookout and Italian Night.
The Labor Day weekend was about as good as it gets!
We could have had a little more wind for the Sunday Rock
Pile race but otherwise it was awesome! The tempera-
ture was perfect for Patio relaxing or sitting around the
fire ring at night or sailing. All three days, there was
some good sailing going on some time during the day.
Facebook has lots of photos of recent events under: St.
Marys Boat Club, Inc.
We are now in the final 2 months of our sailing season.
Get out there and enjoy some fall sailing.
Next weekend is Homecoming weekend. Invite
some former member!

EXTRA!! EXTRA!!
Lake water level is 13” below bot-tom of notch in west dam.
Water Depth in SMBC basin av-erages about 42 inches.
Low water level of lake makes it important to avoid shallow areas and stump fields. In channels, stay in the center and go slow.
Sadly much of the rain that swept through the Midwest, during the past month, passed just to the north or south of Grand Lake.
CAUTION: Boats are hitting stumps near the North mark!
