The news on the channel dredging is that work may begin very soon. Kinsel has given some input on the redesign of the breakwater. That work is now scheduled to be done after the dredge is finished.
Today Merlin(506) celebrated his 83rd birthday. They are going back to Granbury tomorrow. Today was also Christy Aguirre's birthday.
Winter Texans have given up on fishing off the back bulkhead. The tide is really low and there are just no fish. This morning a large island could be seen parallel to the breakwater that went past the second light. Sand accretion seems to be happening all along the pier due to the water being stopped by the breakwater. This pier may become totally useless very soon, except the very end.
Condo 608 has been sold. The listing price had been $295,000 and then recently reduced to $235,000. About two weeks ago Jim(210) and I were talking about the price and Jim decided to make an offer of $185,000. He asked Justin to see if Rachel could put together a contract offer. The next thing he heard was that someone else had offered the same price and a deal was made (the number I'm hearing, after all assessments were considered, was $191,000). I had heard that the former owner was behind on assessments and under some pressure by the board that foreclosure was possible. The new owner is Richy. This really low price may bode well for owners when the Aransas Appraisal District looks at property values for the coming year.
George(guest in 601) found the fish again today. They went to an area just south of Redfish Bay. Everyone else that I have talked to has come back empty handed.
