Its that season again – the runway is wet and slippery. It is getting soft in the usual areas, and that will only get worse with the winter weather. Please go to the “Our Runway” page and read the warning, it is basically the same every year. Remember there will not be any notams posted and you use the runway AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I flew in the other day and noticed a very visible new windsock! It has orange and white stripes, instead of the usual all orange style. I think it is easier to see than the old orange one. Let us know if you like it better than the old windsock. By the way, thanks George Renquist for putting this up for us.
Hey Neighbors, here is the reading list for the Stuart Island Book Club 2017. Thanks, Diane!
The Fall Board of Directors meeting will be held on September 3rd, at 10am in the community hangar building. All owners are welcome to attend.
There is a county wide burn ban in effect, and this time it even restricts recreational fires. Sometimes you are allowed a small outdoor campfire even when there is a burn ban. Not now – ALL outdoor fires are banned. After they remove this short term ban remember, it is so dry that there is still a hazard.

This is one of the hardest posts I’ve typed up. We lost our dear friend Allen Stilwill. Details are unclear right now, but we heard that Allen was found in his home in Parker, Arizona. I’m sure we will have some kind of remembrance for Allen on the island; I’ll put details about that as plans develop. We love and miss you Papa Allen.
