Tempe Town Lake OPEN! Classes Resume!

Hey Everyone!
Much to everyone's suprise, SRP and the City of Tempe worked together to minimize the impact of the lake closure last week. As of this morning, TTL is OPEN again! There are restrictions related to the Super Bowl Party on Sat, so see the Tempe Town Lake Website for more info.

Happy Sailing!

Tempe Town Lake Flows - Classes Postponed

Hi everyone,

Well, it has happened again. Due to the heavy rainfall this fall and winter, the upstream reservoirs have been unable to contain the amount of water mother nature has chosen to bestow on us. As of Sunday evening, 27 Jan, Tempe Town Lake is closed. There is no good indication of when it might open, but I am led to believe it is in terms of weeks, not days.

This picture was taken on the 28th of Jan as I was standing on top of the bridge that crosses the Salt River bed at Gilbert road. I am facing West and you can see that there is quite a large amount of water that is being discharged (20,000cfs according to SRP).

I will do my best to keep you up to date on what is going on and how this will affect our class schedule.

Best regards for smooth sailing,
Capt Rob
