Skimmin' dem weeds!

Thursday around eleven the truck wheeled into Candlewick carrying our new skimmer/harvester. Considering the cost I was hoping it was gold plated but no luck. After about an hour and a half of instruction into the lake it went. I was actually surprised how many weeds were coming up the conveyor right away. Next it hit an algae mat and seemed to skim it fine.
Some things must be remembered. This will take time to learn the most efficient was to use it. The skimmer can not be everywhere at once and everyone will want their bay first. Until we catch up this will be a slow process. Your maintenance department knows how to use the machine as well as necessary maintenance so we should be ready to roll. Next spring we will be on top of the problem right away so it should not get so out of hand. Your maintenance guys will do their best for you.
