The Monongahela Monitor is back in the river after the winter lay-up. The river has been high. That and the fact that we've been replacing the deck has caused a delay in our spring launch. But the river has fallen and is today about 9.5 feet. Still that is about 10,000 cubic feet of water per second coming over the dam at Morgantown. So there's still a substantial current.

Regardless, we're bringing the boat upriver this evening to dock at the Morgantown marina for our summer cleanup schedule. (Mark at Mark's Marine Repair told me I had to get going). First one is scheduled for this Sunday, May 29. If you want to join us, please email me at tterman@mail.wvu.edu. We'd leave the dock around 9:30 - 10 a.m. and be back around 1:30 p.m.
