August long weekend

On August 5, almost exactly three months after we laid the first sandbags, we could finally start the cleanup.  Although there is still a little water in the yard, most of the grounds are dry.  We had a great turnout for the work party on Saturday morning and were able to remove the temporary walkways, and move all the sandbags from around the clubhouse.  We filled in ruts and low spots on the lawn with sand, and stacked some sandbags in case they're needed in the yard later in the season.  There are a few sections near the seawall where the sandbags are still in place to fill in sink holes, but otherwise, the place is looking great.

On Sunday, we invited Ken and Lynn out for a sail.  They've been spending the summer in Canada, with Silverheels III left in Martinique for the hurricane season.  We had another beautiful day with nice conditions for a leisurely sail. There's nothing like good company, sunshine, and a nice breeze.
