We can always tell when Scott has been here. This stack of salvaged wood was on the ground and doing bad things to the grass under it. Sometime this weekend he found the time to stack what appears to be about 100 boards on an old section of pier to allow the grass to recover. He always finds a way to leave the property a little better than it was when he arrived.


These avocado trees that Jim Sykes planted years ago in front of 602 did not handle the winter freeze very well. The one on the right is coming out and will likely recover. The one on the left, not so much. There is some growth about a foot from the ground so maybe it can bounce back, but it will take a few years.

This pine tree outside 706 looks as if will not recover. It was been there at least 15 years, but the cold did it in.
The wind is so strong as I write this, I hear things blowing around outside. This is about as bad as the wind gets outside of a tropical depression or hurricane.
Despite the wind today the guests in 207 took their big Carolina Skiff to Cove Harbor and ran across to Blind Pass behind Mud Island. They had heard that cut shad was working for reds and sure enough. They got their limits. They plan to try again tomorrow.
