Hey Neighbors,

I received this from Harbor Propane….

Hi, Stuart Island owners Harbor Propane will be delivering to Stuart and Johns Island both this Spring and this Fall.  The Spring deliverywill be Wednesday May 1st, Thursday May 2nd, and or Friday May 3rd.
Also the price of propane will be lower by then, as the as the higherwinter costs are coming down.  Customers and residents of Stuart 
Island can call or email Harbor Propane.
Thank you

Has anyone seen the elk lately?  Someone told me a while back that they thought they heard them.  Just curious..

Hey it worked – They got a barge share set up.  If anyone else needs something like this let me know I’ll post it – Greg

Hey is anyone looking to use the barge any time soon?  Mike and Heather need something brought over – contact them if you can work together.  Here is their note..

I’m trying to get a fridge over to Stuart asap. Looking to share a barge run with someone in the next three weeks or so. I can be ready anytime. Let me know. 360-298-5698

All, the runway still has considerable snow full length, especially on the west side.  What is exposed grass is soft.  Here is a report from our neighbor Vince –

Right now runway is snow and mud.  Expecting some sun but the evening cold makes frosh heaves.  So muddy.
If you land mid field going west your better off.  My advice is wait and I'll fill you in on condition of runway.

Thanks, Randy, for sharing these pictures.  It looks fantastic to me, I wish I was there for the storm.

Hey Owners, one of our new neighbors is looking into insurance and that got me thinking that I should ask around and see what you all have found out.  I have my place insured thru USAA but it was a pretty big hassle to get them to insure it.  Our properties are so unique that insurance is expensive and tough to find.

So, do any of you have any good leads?  Cooperative insurance companies, good agents?

If you do I’d sure appreciate an email at

insuranceinfo@stuartisland.org

Thanks, Greg

Hello Everyone, and Happy New Year!  I was just up on island for a couple days, and although the runway looks great, it is really wet from all the rain, and it is slippery.  Be careful with the winds and deer (and elk!) and try to stay on the more firm part of the runway.  When I was there there were big puddles in the usual places, especially on the west end of the runway.  Please take a moment to walk the runway and squish out any ruts that you might leave upon landing.

The whole community really took a beating from the recent wind storms.  There are some trees down, tons of debris blown all around.  The high tides, along with the winds, pushed the salt water up and over the berm on the Johns Pass beach.  After walking around some, I didn’t see any major structural damage anywhere, but I of course didn’t walk everything.  Denny told me that the water got so high that some people in the San Juans lost propane tanks and hot tubs to the high water.

Our dock on Prevost broke loose from part of its anchor system, and it swung at a 20 degree angle to the northwest.  Luckily some neighbors were around and took the time to reattach – see the pictures below.  Thanks Rhys, Randy and Chris for getting it secured again.

Hey Everyone,

The runway will be closed all day on December 4, 2018.  Please plan accordingly.

Thanks
