Under a warm but thankfully rain free morning, seven members of the LPYC tackled several maintenance jobs. First up was replacing the old rusted mast crane cable. After some initial struggles with the old wire, the new wire attached to the old, to be pulled through the top pulleys of the mast crane.

While rest of the crew tackled painting the Knotta Yachta barge with a fresh coat of stain/sealer to the deck and tables and benches on the barge.

Thanks to Ashley, Brent, Peter, Ben, Joe, Steve, and Lynn for making the work day such a success.

If you are serious about needing an uncovered slip for a sailboat or powerboat on Lake Palestine, now is the time to contact Lake Palestine Yacht Club and Lake Palestine Marina. The LPYC has been discussing with Lake Palestine Marina, and the Upper Neches River Authority to add up to 6 additional slips at the Lake Palestine Marina. But we need commitments from boat owners wanting slips to proceed. Below is a diagram showing the possible expansion, currently revised to offer 6 slips.

Wondering about the construction going on at Lake Palestine Marina? Thanks to negotiations between LPYC, Lake Palestine Marina, and The Upper Neches River Authority, 12 new docks are being built to accommodate deeper draft and or larger boats. Expected completion date is around the first part of June.
