That is exactly what I am trying to convey Stay Home My point is : people traveling to Lake O from anywhere ,are risking the lives of people in this area

Completely ignorant point of view iyho. Last I looked Broome cty was down on the PA border I have lived in Jefferson and Oswego ctys my whole life. Upstate does not need an influx of people to help spread this virus. Stay home. Very simple Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That’s right NYC is the hot spot. I feel for those people and what they are going through. That said , keeping this virus downstate is what this is all about. Having people inundate upstate from all over is not accomplishing containment. Stay home till this is over and life gets back to normal Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

No issues. The only time they would be trimmed up together would be in shallow water , like anchored off the beach for a swim Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Yes. It’s trimmed all the way up now with kicker in trailer position Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It would have to get onto the teens before I would worry. The engine is covered by the doghouse and it would take a while to freeze Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Any wave prediction is usually off by at least a foot. NOAA , etc. if it says 1-3. Figure 2-4. The only sure way is look when you get there. What you see is what you get. I’ve gotten to the launch too many times only to find its way too rough to go out. The chance you take. Be respectful of Lake O. It can get mean quickly. Watch the weather and have a vhf radio on board. Always. This is what it can be Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

talk about catch 22 The mayor says the launch is open , but you can't drive to it . No unnecessary travel go figure guess if you want to fish bad enough you'll take the chance on a ticket or driving back home Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The city of Oswego has issued a no travel ordinance. If you can’t travel , you can’t launch a boat. Launch is closed till travel ban is lifted Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

There is no stopping Covid-19. It is a Novell virus. It has found a way to jump from animals to humans. And now from human to human. It is a killer. We have no immune response to this monster. The whole purpose of social separation is to slow , not stop, the spread. Our hospitals are overwhelmed we are out of Ppe’s for doctors and nurses. Ventilators , necessary to keep people alive are in short supply If we don’t slow the spread , the whole world will fall into anarchy. The zombie apocalypse will be real Stay home. Protect yourselves and your loved ones. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Maybe you should worry about politics in Canuck land Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

And you forgot to add. Staying alive and keeping loved ones alive. This is not make believe Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The city of Oswego has issued a travel ban inside the city limits that would put the launch at Wrights out if business till the travel ban is lifted Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

This seems very simple. If you live in PA stay in Pa. and that goes for any other states. This virus is spread by people moving it from place to place. Stay home The government is being forced to make all the rules and closures because selfish people just don’t get it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Do regular radio checks, but do them on a recreational communications channel, not on 16, 9, 22 or any other restricted channel. Something the authorities find quite aggravating is when a recreational boater calls on an emergency channel requesting a "radio check." Hailing "TowBoatUS" on 68 is an easy way to conduct a check. What channels should you use for regular conversations? Channels 68, 69, 71, 72, and 78A are considered non-commercial channels, and in most areas, 68 and 72 are commonly used by the recreational-boating community. But remember that the VHF is officially for "operational" purposes. This can be as informal as passing on a weather report, but conversations about what the dog chewed up yesterday are inappropriate. Some channels, such as 70, have restricted use, and you can't use them for voice communications. This is a quote from the USCG radio protocol manual. Asking for a radio check on 16 will probably get you a warning from the coast guard to “ move your idle chatter to a recreational frequency “. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
