Both Phase I and Phase II boards have decided that the marina pier is beyond repair. Larry Rabe is taking it apart with the hope that Rob can pull out the posts when he removes our old pier. That work should begin very soon.
Today Benet Stewart, one of the original developers of Kontiki, stopped by to mention that we should probably install an additional post in the middle of the marina. There is only one of the original three left that mark a submerged and capped gas well. With the low tide the pipe is just barely under the water now. The remaining post is the one that can be seen in the background of this photo.
The recent cold weather has made the algae bloom in the mitigation site even worse. It's hard to imagine this as a good fishing spot in the summer, but every year when the weather warms the algae goes away.
The last few warm days have shown the fish are still in the bay. I've seen the winter Texans cleaning good catches.
