Nancy Posey pulls up at Clark's Restaurant in her boat , the Pelican, to pick up volunteers for the ride out to Sundown Island. As you can tell, it was a bit chilly early that morning.

At the last workday, Diane Nunley suggested to Chester that he paint the cistern black to reduce the slim in the tank. She was surprised to find that Chester was ready with paint for her at this workday—even though it was green. Be sure to view Diane's photos of the birds too!

One of the many in-between-jobs that Chester Smith had to take care of on the island were the honey bees that took up residence in the tractor shed. He said the bee keeper told him that if you don't remove and destroy the combs the bees will come back. This was the last remnant.

Able De Leon clears out the weeds and brush around the oak trees planted near the tractor shed, followed by fertilizing and watering.

Able pauses from his work for a photo. Notice how prolific the Lantana is behind him. The Pelicans love nesting in, near or on the Lantana.

Some of the smashed barrels. Most of these barrels were washed up on shore.
