If you are going to need the Humpback barge this spring you’ll need to work around these dates – The Humpback will NOT be available April 8-13. Also, if you post your barge plans on the message forum you might be able to find someone interested in sharing the cost. THIS NOTE FIRST SHOWED THE HUMPBACK UNAVAILABLE FOR A PORTION OF MAY. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT PLANS CHANGED AND IT IS NOW AVAILABLE ALL MAY.
Hello, the season has been set for prawning this spring. Go to the fishing page for more information.
Sad news to report – We learned recently that fellow property owner George Gund died last month. Here is a link to the New York Times article with a short description of Mr. Gund and his life.
I know 99% of you already know this, but our burn pile is located just west of the community building, on the south side of the runway. We have burned in a couple of different places in the past, but just west of the community building is the right spot now. Owners can put yard waste, stumps, limbs, any natural vegetation in that burn pile and it will be burned when the board thinks the time is right. It is not appropriate to put anything except natural vegetation type material in the burn pile. Please don’t dump your garbage on community property – someone else will just have to clean up your mess.
The runway is quite wet on both ends. Go to the runway info tab for current (1/6/2013) pictures of the runway. Also, there are areas that have been identified with orange cones that are too wet and soft for taxiing or parking your airplane. Please respect the cones and don’t taxi into these areas. Thanks for Rhys for a runway condition report and the pictures.
Hi All,
It is being reported that the spot prawn season will have many more days available this summer than we have had for the last few seasons.
I haven’t seen it yet on the WDFW website, but this news was reported in the San Juan Islander recently and again in the News Tribune. While the article says there will be more open days this year, it does not indicate exactly which days. I always felt like this might be good news for the shrimp too – maybe there won’t be a push to “grab all you can as fast as you can” like there is when you only have a couple days available in the season.
We hope you all had a great Christmas and that you have a nice New Years Holiday!
Hi Everyone,
This is just a short reminder that we close the airport for at least one day every year, and this year that day will be Tuesday, December 4th. Plan accordingly!
We hope you all had a nice thanksgiving.
I received an email from one of our neighbors saying she tried to post something on the forum and it never showed up. If that ever happens to you let me know via email and I’ll figure out what’s going on. I have some software set up that tries to weed out the spam messages and for some reason she got caught up in that. Believe it or not there have been over 1400 spam messages “trapped” in just the last 3 weeks. There’s no way I can go thru each to see if it is not spam. So, let me know if something doesn’t seem right.
Thanks
Just a quick reminder to fill in and mail off the crab catch cards. I think they are due 10/1/12 (the summer cards anyway – if you have a winter card it will be due later). There is a $10 penalty added to your license fee if you do not report your catch. You can also do the report online.
