Initial aeration systems placed in Buckeye Lake

Water quality at Buckeye Lake is a topic that has been discussed, and cussed, for decades. From faulty septic tanks leaking into the lake to nutrient-rich farm runoff to an out-of-control resident Canada goose population, there has always been plenty of fodder for people to complain, blame, or both, about Buckeye Lake….

POSTPONED

As of this evening, we’ve had limited response of Thistles planning to join us this Saturday.  Sadly, with the forecast, we’re having trouble to get firm commitments from our RC Volunteers as well.  At this time, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone and try again at a later date.  One possibility that immediately comes to mind is that we add a one-design fleet for the Thistles at our Snowball Regatta, October 16.  Stay tuned – we’ll get this thing revived sooner or later.  Please share this information.

Thistle Sailing Coming to Buckeye Lake

This coming Saturday, BLYC will again host the Mean Green spring tune-up regatta for are Thistle sailors.  Thistles can be exciting boats as you can see in the video below.

Just some former junior sailors from Cleveland Yachting Club having a fun day on the water in an exciting boat.

(Probably should’ve thought about donning the PFDs a bit earlier though)

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We plan to use this day as a ‘tune-up” and practice for our Race Committee and Regatta volunteers so that we’re ready for our largest regatta of the season – the I-LYA Traveler Series Regatta, June 5.

If you’re planning on helping with the Junior Regatta or the Snowball in the fall, we strongly encourage you to come out and help with this laid-back one-day tune-up event.
