    The New York Canal Corp has marked the obstructions and bar in the channel at Ithaca here is the official notice... Notice to Mariners Cayuga-Seneca Canal, Cayuga Lake – Ithaca May 25, 2021 Mariners are advised of shoaling in the Cayuga Lake Inlet in Ithaca that has reduced depth of the channel due to silt buildup. This area is south of lighted aid to navigation Fl "147" at the north end of the breakwater. Red and green auxiliary and danger buoys are marking the narrowed navigation channel. Boaters should use caution when traversing this area. A chart showing the affected area can be found at http://www.canals.ny.gov/navinfo/charts/14786cs1.png Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    The Auxiliary is resuming inspections by appointment for the season. The first date available will be Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I will be doing them at Treman Marina if you are interested let me know and I will book an appointment for you. I'm starting at 2PM Sunday in 20 minute increments. Just PM me if you want it done. Mark PS: Two new big changes... Briannas Law you need to have a boaters safety card, and if your boat is equipped with a cutoff you must use it on Federal waters which includes Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida. Safe Boating.

    He is Correct it is a requirement if you have one... and all should even if portable... Radio Watchkeeping Regulations In general, any vessel equipped with a VHF marine radiotelephone (whether voluntarily or required to) must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the radiotelephone is not being used to communicate. Source: FCC 47 CFR §§ 80.148, 80.310, NTIA Manual 8.2.29.6.c(2)(e), ITU RR 31.18, 52.244 In addition, every power-driven vessel of 20 meters or over in length or of 100 tons and upwards carrying one or more passengers for hire, or a towing vessel of 26 feet or over in length, as well, as every dredge and floating plant operating near a channel or fairway, must also maintain a watch on channel 13 (156.650 MHz) --channel 67 (156.375 MHz) if operating on the lower Mississippi River-- ; while navigating on U.S. waters (which include the territorial sea, internal waters that are subject to tidal influence, and, those not subject to tidal influence but that are used or are determined to be capable of being used for substantial interstate or foreign commerce). Sequential monitoring techniques (scanners) alone cannot be used to meet this requirement; two radios (including portable radios, i.e. handhelds) or one radio with two receivers, are required. These vessels must also maintain a watch on the designated Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) frequency, in lieu of maintaining watch on channel 16, while transiting within a VTS area. See 33 CFR §§ 2.36, 26, and 161; 47 CFR §§ 80.148, 80.308-309; NTIA: NTIA Manual Chapter 8.2.29.7. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
