Eleven of us (TYC members and guests) gathered together on a fairly dry but windy February 2 noontime event at the Richardson Marina Guest Dock. After a few words to appease the rain gods, we all made a gesture of adding a few pints of water to the reservoir. Priming it in this way has been shown to be beneficial toward creating a great year of sailing on Fernridge.
UPDATE: 4/13/2019
The Dam Closing Party was a success as can be witnessed by the already full reservoir. The rain gods obliged!!! Thanks for your help.
