Update on the collapsed boathouse

Before I begin I thought I'd share this lovely shot of the Furlong's garden --
taken (of course) before all this crazy rainy weather we've been having...

I saw two people out in the lagoon at low tide with clipboards, making notes about the boathouse, so I (perhaps foolishly) assumed that it was the Coast Guard responding to our concerns and that they might be planning to do something about it.

No luck, I guess -- and it must have been pretty challenging for the Scotts to waterski around the floating wall and the boathouse during their daughter's party this weekend. Perhaps it's time to contact the fire department and ask if they might be willing to burn it?

At any rate Dan Devin and I would love to track where that floating wall is going. If you happen to see where it's lodged, could you let one of us know? We should probably at least try to tie it up somewhere so it's not a boating hazard.

Also the Scotts had to prop up the Partins' northwest fencepost after someone knocked it down in the night (it was tipping out into the street). If you happen to know who hit the post, could you let me or Cindy know? Thanks...
