Welcome to our newest owners, Dave and Hannah Wright of Spokane, Washington. They have purchased unit 307. I'm sure they will find that they made a great decision.

A lawn irrigation company came out last week to see if they could get our sprinklers to work. They tell me that the problem was sand in the solenoids that open and close the valves. Of course, everything here has sand in it. I would have thought a sand filter on the well pump would solve that problem, but the decision was made to install new valves that can be manually operated. The theory being that by opening and closing the valves manually, the sand will be loosened and will not accumulate enough to interfere with the operation of the electrical solenoid. I have my doubts, but that's why we pay management to make the calls.

The HEB beach continues to erode at an alarming rate. The tide is not really that high and still the water encroaches into the vegetation. Normally, at this time of year, 15 to 20 feet of shell can be seen between the water's edge and the vegetation.
