Friday, November 19th - latest visit to the island

 Hi All - it has been quiet for me this past month, no early text messages, no early drives to Waties Island.  I did kayak out to the island on Wednesday to see how the island fared from the last King Tide which was a remarkable 9 feet in our area.  The lower/west end continues to erode and more trees are down.  The path the bulldozer left from the fire earlier this year is completely blocked by downed trees.  The wrack line was high most of the way up the beach.  We only walked about half way up, and picked up a fair amount of trash which included a Garmin Fish Finder.  The sailboat is visible again.
