Here are some pictures (thanks Charlene!). While the airport as a whole is really wet, the runway is surprisingly ok. It is still pretty firm. If we get more rain soon that will change though.

Hey Pilots, if you fly in here you know about the area on the west end, middle of the runway, that has been a real trouble spot for years – grass wont grow, it’s pure clay, etc. Well, a big load of gravel has been put on this area, in an effort to help firm it up. So, until the gravel works its way into the ground, just beware – we wanted to let you all know about this activity.

From Rhys – After consulting with several of you we moved the NW windsock today. It is closer to the runway and slightly east of it prior position. It should give a better indication of the actual winds on the runway. 

The minutes from this meeting have been uploaded. You can access via the minutes page, or click here.

There will be a Stuart Island Owners Association board meeting on Saturday, September 4th, at 10 am, at the community building.

All are welcome.

UPDATE – They found a barge share, thanks.

Dave and Dana Dysart have a barge set up to come to Stuart on 8/23, – there might be some room on the way over, but the return trip is open . They will return from Stuart to Roche on 9/1, so there is a Roche to Stuart leg available. Text Dana if interested at 425-466-2519

One takeaway, they recommend not to put out food, or water, for the deer as this brings them together and this disease spreads thru close contact.

Thanks George and Charlene, great event, great turnout. Pictures are on the neighborhood/pictures page. Also, if anyone has any more pictures and wishes to share send them to me, I didn’t get enough…

Please everyone lets not start any outdoor fires until we get some rain.

Thanks
