<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=622010117-18012000>Hi
Peter,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=622010117-18012000> Thanks for the note. I posted
some further prop info, essentially that there is a web site properpitch.com
that for $10 (although I got some info before payment) you can get a computer
estimate done. Take it with a grain of salt... I initially thought the
prop would cure things with my small 10hp Bukh diesel, which would not run more
than 2500 rpm when it is supposed to do 3000. Instead of changing the prop
I have been repairing and cleaning the fuel system, the tank, lines, pumps and
injector, to see how this changes things this coming summer. If there
isn't much change I will go to a 12 inch diameter, 10 inch pitch two or three
blade for starters. The 12 inch diameter will almost give me an acceptable
clearance all around. There is always lots of time and other more pressing
fixes.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=622010117-18012000> I have an interest in Lake Winnipeg,
not only from the sailing, but also from the local history and geography.
I've been working on a research project that began with the hydrographic
charting in 1901 and now is growing into what I can only describe as a pilot of
the lake for sailors, with as much historic information as navigational
stuff.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=622010117-18012000> Goderich is connected to Winnipeg
because at least between 1882 and 1904 the Dominion Fish Co. of Winnipeg
registered most of its steamboats from Collingwood and Goderich in Winnipeg, for
some reason. I have been compiling a database of Manitoba boats as of 1905 and
this info turned up. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=622010117-18012000> The sailing season on Lake Winnipeg
is rather short, approximately June through mid-September, although recently the
fall has been very mild for us. The lake is frozen about three or four
feet each winter and there are numerous ice roads constructed to supply the
northern reserves.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=622010117-18012000> I don't know what the Coast Guard
and Public Works is doing in your area, but they are discontinuing dredging at
the mouth of the Red River at the S. end of the lake. When the mouth fills
up so that it is not navigable they will pull the buoys and it will be everyone
for themselves... This will of course trap any of the deep draft vessels
that are moored in Selkirk, Colville Landing and further upstream
(south).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=622010117-18012000> All for now,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
