Bad Weather Extends Blind Pass Dredging Project

July 10, 2009 — sandyramseth

Captiva Island Beach

Well, here’s the latest and greatest on our Blind Pass Dredging Project as of the July 3rd update:

  • The last half of June unfortunately did not cooperate weather-wise in letting Dredge Nate out into the Gulf to finish its work, and therefore, has prompted a request to Lee County for a two-week extension to get the job finished up properly.
  • The “Pole and Troll” buoys haven’t been placed as of yet, but when they are placed in Wulfert Flats, enforcement of the zone will go immediately into effect.
  • Expected date of project completion is now anticipated for July 25th barring that the weather cooperates.

You can read all the details below or simply download the entire pdf document right here:   July 3rd Blind Pass Update

Have a great weekend,

Sandy and Rob

Sanibel Island Has Mosquitos?

July 3, 2009 — sandyramseth

Mosquito Spray

I laughed outloud as I wrote the title of this post! :)

Of course we have mosquitos on Sanibel Island… where in Florida are there no mosquitos, right?

Well, with the Fourth of July Parade and Festivities coming up tomorrow, I’m here to tell you to always be prepared with plenty of strong mosquito repellent.

One year I forgot and boy, did I ever pay for it!

Every year the Lee County Mosquito Control District spends the week leading up to the 4th of July festivities spraying the area like crazy to kill the mosquito larvae before they hatch, but unfortunately this past week has not cooperated with the rain and winds that we’ve had, so there may be a “few” more mosquitos than we would all like to see.  You can read the article that they posted today regarding their efforts right here:  Lee County Mosquito Eradication.  Despite the weather, it looks like they will still have most of the area sprayed before all the events begin this weekend, which shows the incredible effort being made on their part!

So, a big thanks go out to them from all of us…

Well, we look forward to seeing you all out and about at the parade and events tomorrow and if I run out of mosquito spray will you lend me some of yours?  ;)

Have fun and enjoy the long weekend,

Sandy and Rob

p.s.  SanCap One Source Realty is hot, hot, hot!
