The final pour was made last week on the entrance road. Work will begin in April on the parking areas around the condos.
The winds have been fierce for the last five days. The winds have driven the tides to reach well above the seasonal average. I have not seen the tides this high since last fall. The tides have not, however, brought back any fish. I went out on the pier about midnight last night and there was no sign of any fish activity.
We had some guests here from Marble Falls, Texas last weekend who really tried to find the fish. They had a really nice Skeeter boat and spent Saturday around Mesquite Bay and Sunday in Copano. Altogether they boated one Black Drum. They were pretty discouraged.
Work has still not started on the piers or channel dredging.
I purchased a wireless card for my computer last week, but the signal strength in the 200 building is just too weak to make it work. The paln trees between here and the router attenuate the signal. It will probably take several boosters mounted on the buildings to get a decent signal to the 200 and 300 buildings.
There was a major sewer backup Sunday evening. John and Ron spent most of Monday morning getting things working again. Ron was working into the afternoon in front of 308. The pressure there was the greatest and forced the sewer line cap to pop off and the overflow there was considerable. It really reeked. I hope it didn't back up into the downstairs bathtub in 308. Ron said that when they got the sewer open it appeared that someone had flushed a large amount of shrimp shells and that may have been the cause.
My google stats show that last week there were hits from 17 states on this blog. Its nice to know that many folks are interested in Kontiki, but there has been a real dearth of news to report. The winds continue today, the fish are nowhere to be found, and no construction is underway.
