We still have not formally addressed this as a club.  At least for early May
there is no problem getting camp sites.  We had the whole island to
ourselves with the exception of a couple of day paddlers.  I need to call
the park to let them know that there is a mountain of trash by their Sand
Island sign at their dock, so I will bring the topic up with them at that
time.

We decided to draw the line at making a two mile crossing with overloaded
garbage scows.  Piddling along the shore was bad enough.  Actually
conditions were pretty nice, calm seas, a bit breezy and hot, hot, hot.  It
was probably 80 on Saturday and 65 on Sunday in spite of a water temp of 37
degrees.
