Summer on the river in 2021 turned out to be a long warm season defined by the closing and opening of the locks at Lockport. With so little rain, the level of the river was consistently near normal and the river never did flow strongly. The lack of current added to the growth on ours boat hulls and the docks, so cleanup was a a bigger job than usual. Our new electric power washer helped with that.

The pandemic restrictions kept the clubhouse mostly closed but as the restrictions eased up people were able to meet on the docks and I hear there was some fairly regular barbecues on the weekends.

The lost revenue from being unable to rent out our space was lessened by income from a movie shoot on our site. The movie production painted the garage a green colour that has not been appreciated and there are plans to cover it up next year.

Movie production alters the look of our garage.

There are a few activities making use of our river access this winter as well. A curling tournament and a company that harvests ice will be using our ramp in the upcoming months.

The weather did not fully cooperate but over the last week it was good enough to get all the docks in the water. Thanks to all who helped and especially Chester for running the operation.

There are still some details to finish off but boats can get in the water and tie up as of tomorrow June 8th. The weather may not cooperate with that however.

By the end of the week the sun will be out and there may be a lineup at the launching pad. I for one am excited about another summer on the river.

Sudden End to 2019 Season

With record rainfall in September the waters of the Red River have risen to the point where it was dangerous to have our boats attached to the rising docks, so the boating season came to an abrupt end last week. Thank you to all members who helped out and got their boats out of the water on short notice.

Redboine Boat Club is located in the heart of Winnipeg, on the Red River. We exist to provide a welcoming, fun atmosphere for boaters in Manitoba.

We are Winnipeg's family on the river entertainment club. Dock your boat with us, and visit The Forks, Pony Corral Pier 7 or St. Vital Park. Head up to Lockport for a hotdog, tour miles and miles of beautiful sites, or have your own cruise under the stars. Go fishing for the big cats at Lockport, or head right out to Gimli for the weekend.
