Ken Furman of Point Comfort informed us that there will be music played for boats on Saturday 8/9.  The band is "The Other Side" and will play from 1 pm to 5 pm on the shore of the first pond. 

 

Also, here's an interesting comparison of the 1918 pandemic and today's Covid-19: STORY

Our storm last night didn't prove to be as daunting as we had expected - and that's only a good thing! I measured 1.70 in. of rainfall this morning - well under the 2-4 inches predicted. I checked the anemometer a few times during the evening, but never saw wind that was registering more than 10-12 mph.  There may have been higher gusts, but my meter does not record any readings, so I have no way of knowing if there were more powerful gusts of wind. Everything considered, we were very fortunate, I think. I haven't had any reports of damage or even lost items that got blown away or floated away during the storm. Everything seems to be stable here.

I don't know if it is generally known, but Scot and Geri Pelok on Sandy Beach Road are leaving the area. We are very sorry they are leaving, but understand that they are returning to Michigan where they have family and friends. I know they loved their spot on Joe's Pond and it was a difficult decision to make. We wish them safe travels and the very best in the future.

The trend to have music on weekends at various spots around the pond has really taken off. This Sunday (August 9) there will be an on-shore concert at Point Comfort with the band, "The Other Side," playing from 1-5 p.m. Boats should gather in the small, or first pond. This event is being sponsored by the Turner Family at Point Comfort.  Thanks to the Turners for contributing to the fun. I found this photo when I searched the band - they play classic rock, according to what I found.
