<br />~ 1 ..:._ <br /> <br />To: St Paul Water Utility, Bill Tschida <br />City of Centerville <br />Mayor Mary Capra <br />From: Wayne LeBlanc <br />Date: July 14, 2007 <br />Subj: Sailing Proposal for Fete des Lacs, Aug 4, Saturday <br /> <br />In celebration of the new Hidden Spring Park in Centerville, I am offering to take people Rtliling on <br />Centerville Lake. I helped bring the park into reality; I am somewhat attached to it and would like to offer <br />something to help celebrate. I would like permission from the city ofCentervil1e and the St Paul Water <br />deparbnent I think this activity could be a win-win-win-win. A win for the people introduced to u.iling, a <br />win for Centerville because it is a nice thing to do, a win for St Paul Water in the good faith publicity is <br />may generate, and a win for me because I enjoy it <br /> <br />Below is a picture of our 26 foot "Tam Q'Shanter" ballasted sailboat. It's a nice enough boat to be <br />enjoyable, it is bal1Adoo and does not tip like a day sailing boat, and it opens in the back so people can <br />just walk on. As you see here it is floating in about one foot ofwater and loads from the beach. I have a <br />way to make loading and unloading a piece of cake and absolutely safe. I have extensive u.iling <br />experience and have sailed from Virginia to the British Virgin 'gland, in an 11 day ocean crossing among <br />other things. If the weather is bad or some other condition occurs, I would not do the activity. This is <br />baht the onl time I would do this activi - in celebration of the 0 . of the Park. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />This picture shows why I am Wlldng <br />for St Paul Water permission to use <br />their property for one day only. <br />Hidden Spring Park has a large <br />(wonderful) shoreline restoration <br />project and does not allow easy <br />access to loading and unloading <br />people in the sailboat. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />- ----- -- -- - - --- <br />
