The “No Wake” buoys to be installed at key locations in the PIPOA canals are due to be delivered next week. The buoy anchor components and yellow flashing lights have arrived. After all parts are delivered, the plan is to assemble them at the Fortuna Bay boat ramp. Board member, Bill Davenport, is looking for volunteers to help with assembly. We expect to have them installed in time for the traffic expected Labor Day weekend. Boaters, please be considerate. Throwing a wake causes damage to homeowner docks and PIPOA bulkheads.

ISAC (Island Strategic Action Committee)- I attended the ISAC meeting on Tuesday, December 6. The Corpus Christi Fire Chief gave a presentation regarding combining the ESD #2 Fire Station, personnel, and equipment with the Corpus Christi Fire Department. In particular, he pointed out that the tax money paid for ESD #2 is redundant in that we pay tax money to the City for the Fire Department. We did not hear the ESD #2 side of the story. I will keep you posted on this.

Good News- The derelict sailboat (ghost ship- Captain Jack Sparrow would have been proud) has been towed away to the boatyard for decommissioning. Thank you to the residents along the Cabana canal. You would not believe the red tape we went through with several government agencies. The vessel is gone but will not be forgotten.
