A Special Opportunity for Special Ladies
“Ladies Only, Fun on the Lake”
“Ladies Day on the Lake”
was held from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on June 21, 2011 at Lighthouse Marina,
1925 Johnson’s Marina Road, Chapin SC. The Lake Murray Association , SC
Department of Natural Resources, Lake Murray Power Squadron and Columbia
Power Sports hosted this popular annual event, which is open to all ladies
17 years of age and older.
The purpose of Ladies’ Day
is to instruct women about all elements of safe boating. This includes how
to operate and dock a powerboat safely, back a boat trailer into the water
to launch and retrieve boats. Each participant will have the opportunity to
get into a DNR boat to take her turn operating it on the open water and to
dock it at the marina. This will all be done under the competent and
patient guidance of the DNR instructors. These are just some of the
activities for this fun-filled day! A course in the safe operation of
personal watercraft was conducted again this year by Columbia Power Sports.
A safety presentation was presented by a member of the Lake Murray Power
Squadron.
Your DNR and Columbia
Power Sports instructors are experienced specialists in watercraft operation
and safety. They take the “mystery and frustration” out of boating and
trailering. They teach you how to handle a boat and trailer confidently so
that your boating excursions will be safe and enjoyable.
Participants described
this event as one of the most fun-filled and pleasurable activities they
have had on the lake. You can ask all of those “dumb” questions that you
hesitate to ask and no one will laugh at you. No husbands or boyfriends
are allowed – this day is for the ladies only.
This
event-packed day on beautiful Lake Murray will hopefully be scheduled again
in 2012. Check our web site starting in early 2012 for an announcement and
