Scott finally gets a few extra days at Kontiki and volunteers to help Larry Rabe work on a water leak on Friday morning. We thought we had escaped the damage usually caused by the erection on the large tent on the lawn. What appears to have happened is that a tent stake was driven into an irrigation line near the sprinkler head. It only leaked in the early am hours when that sector was being watered. By morning it had soaked back into the lawn and we did not notice until the area seemed to be particularly green.
Tomorrow there will be an owners' meeting to determine what type of roof will be installed to replace our hail damaged roof. Many owners have sent in proxies to voice their choice. It will be either composite, metal, or tile. My primary concern is that we find a way to cool the attic space to help keep down the temperature in the upstairs bedrooms.
Welcome to our newest owners. Blanche and Martin Dever have purchased condo 708 and plan to live there while they are having a house built.
The flounder run is showing signs of slowing down. Last weekend and for a few days afterward there were a lot of flounder caught and gigged. They were migrating into the bays and some made a wrong turn into our channel and ended up in the mitigation site. I have never seen so many large flounder caught in such a short period of time. We needed Barbara(the flounder lady) to help us control the flounder population. I waded into the bay before dawn on Sunday to take a look with my flounder light and there were flounder every few steps. At the first light of day, a commercial fisherman drove up in his truck pulling his flounder boat near our pier. He said he had exceeded his limit and had left some of his catch in a bucket on the HEB beach. He walked down and picked it up and sure enough, more flounder.
