Hopefully with the upcoming rain we won't have to be so concerned with the low water levels in the Slough.

Make sure your boat is ready for any cold weather.
Our first snow fall is always a good reminder to make sure your boat won't freeze up and bust things and also to make sure you remember to check on your boathouse to make sure too much snow doesn't accumulate.
You never know what that wet snow can do to an object... In fact I had a bit of a problem with my 12 ft moose yesterday. He ended up laying down a couple of times during the snowfall.
Had to give him a few shakes to get him back on his feet.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year..

Low water at the boatclub
Watch out for low water at the boatclub this weekend. The combination of cold weather , lack of precipitation , low flows out of the Pitt River and Fraser River in combination with Low Tides have all combined to create very low water levels at the boat club during low tides.
You can check the tide tables to give you a rough idea of the conditions at the boatclub (taking an appropriate delay into account for the travel time between the station you use and the time it takes the tide to get from that station to the boat club.
I use the new westminster tide levels and add 60 to 90 minutes to have an idea of water levels at the boatclub.

Here is a link to the site for the plot below http://www.dairiki.org/tides/daily.php/nwm

And here are several photos taken at the boat club around 9:20 p.m. You can see from the plot above that low tide is around 8:00 p.m. and that (for this day) the photos taken at the boatclub 80 minutes later (9:20 p.m. ) show the lowest tides I think I have ever seen..
