    The New York Canal Corp has marked the obstructions and bar in the channel at Ithaca here is the official notice... Notice to Mariners Cayuga-Seneca Canal, Cayuga Lake – Ithaca May 25, 2021 Mariners are advised of shoaling in the Cayuga Lake Inlet in Ithaca that has reduced depth of the channel due to silt buildup. This area is south of lighted aid to navigation Fl "147" at the north end of the breakwater. Red and green auxiliary and danger buoys are marking the narrowed navigation channel. Boaters should use caution when traversing this area.

    The Auxiliary is resuming inspections by appointment for the season. The first date available will be Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I will be doing them at Treman Marina if you are interested let me know and I will book an appointment for you. I'm starting at 2PM Sunday in 20 minute increments. Just PM me if you want it done. Mark PS: Two new big changes... Briannas Law you need to have a boaters safety card, and if your boat is equipped with a cutoff you must use it on Federal waters which includes Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida. Safe Boating.
