OYC Repairs in 2020

Beginning of repairs to OYC property in 2020.

Below - Some repairs are started, a lot to do.
Upper/left photo, The road around the Lagoon was extended along the west side.
Upper/right photo, The amount of trash that washed in with the high water periods shows how much garbage is just tossed in our waterways. There needs to be a better effort to control trash.
Lower left - Lagoon Clean Up, the high waters would push weed clumps and other trash into the Lagoon.
Lower right - Gas Dock & Well, With the wood dock and walk complete, will have to wait for lower water levels to clean up this section. Ajax Island in the background almost looks like an Island again.

High Water Damage From 2019 and 2020

Oconto Yacht Club

Below are four photos of the same South-East side of the Club.
The three Cedars on the left of the upper/left photo belong to the neighbor and are lost. The one on the right side and a couple more of our Cedars are lost.
The boats in the upper/right photo are in storage on the parking lot. This area is also where the lift goes to the well.
The lower left is looking at the corner of the property. The three far trees and the flag post are the corner of the property.
The lower right is in front of the boats looking at the River Docks. You can see the cattails and tall grasses starting to come up.

Below four more photos of the Club.
Upper/left photo is where Yacht Club Road ends in the OYC parking lot Many cattails, grasses, and weeds now over run this section of the club.
Upper/right photo shows the Lagoon road, boat storage, and Lagoon over run and under water.
The lower left is at the north-east corner of the club showing the flooding in our triangle section, across Spies Road, and into the truck pull area of the park.
The lower right is Yacht Club Road where it meets Spies Road. Our flooded triangle property is on the left. The house between Yacht Club Road and the river are elevated and are fine.

Below are four photos of Club and near by.
Upper/left photo taken from the intersection of Spies and Yacht Club Road. This section was often flooded. Launching boats was difficult at this landing.
Upper/right photo, This house is across Spies Road by the north end of the Yacht Club. They had owned this home for forty-plus years. The water level became so high that it came up through the floors flooding the interior of the home. They lost their home and OYC lost a great friend.
Lower left, The Pontoon is in the lift well. The walk-way and gas dock before the wooden decking was added. Ajax Island in the background is totally under water.
Lower right, The Club House is raised enough it stayed high and dry.
