Hello Fellow Sailors,
Sorry this Spring Newsletter is so late. It is hard to believe that April is
already here. We had a colder than normal February but there was still a
lot of activity at the Flats. The Kiters were busy building new Palapas on
the North side. Thanks to Terry Chase, Ron and Jude Mohr and Mike
Clark for sweating and taking on this long overdue project. Terry was also
instrumental in installing new signs including one of the most important
ones: “All Pets must be leashed at all times.” So this goes out as a big
reminder to keep all dogs on a leash… please!
Jibber rented a tractor and with EdEx did a lot of grading work on the
roads. They also tried to rough up the slippery algae covered areas. With
recent higher tides, unfortunately a lot of his work is not visible. But we
who are here all the time see how much this has helped. So thanks again,
Jibber!
Tickets go on sale the week before and will be $20 each. Available at/from Jibber, Herman, SPI Kiteboarding, Air Padre and from the Gate Keeper. There will be $500 worth of gift certificates for local businesses and restaurants! Let’s get everyone there this year and have a really big bash! As always just a friendly reminder that every vehicle needs a valid pass. Please help us out by self policing. So if you see a car without one, just give a friendly notice to go get one. They can be purchased through Jibber, SPI Kiteboarding and Air Padre. As we all know everyone here has become dependent on the new IWindsurf/IKitesurf wind gauge on the North Flats. Please help keep it here by subscribing to one of those organizations.
For some dumb reason fishermen have been building fish pens in the bay
with hook lines. One such pen was/is exactly in front of the North Flats.
These pens are made of white polyethylene stakes that have red tape
around the top and they have fish hooks attached. Some kiters removed
the ones in front of the North Flats, but please be aware that they are out
there in the Bay. Some people have already contacted Fish&Game and
the Coast Guard but both refused help.
Lastly, Kiters, please read all the posted signs. If you see others not
following the rules, kindly remind them to read and abide by them as well.
A lot of continuous work goes into keeping our site safe and most
importantly OPEN.
See you all at Louie’s –
Sail safely and have fun.
