Friday, September 2nd. Almost exactly two weeks since everything changed at MBY. Of course we have only scratched the surface, quite literally, and know there is sooooo much more to be done. But some very good news to report:
The gas dock is finally back on line! Mike Muldoon (electrician) somehow was able to drop everything and spend 4 full days setting up a new power drop, mounting boxes, circuit boards, running heavy cables and figuring out where in the world everything was coming from and where it is supposed to go. He set up a new board near the gas tank for the relays, sensors, detectors and emergency circuitry. The petroleum electricians showed up like angels and made it all work. So a HUGE thank you to Mike Muldoon and to Dependable Petroleum and their crew getting us hooked up. Now you all can get fuel when you need it!
The Yard is now back open again! Andrew Langlois and crew has not stopped clearing, grading and spreading new stone to clear the yard. He trenched a new perimeter water line (900') around the property, this after digging down to locate all of the broken water lines and restoring the water supply to the docks. Huge shout out to Josh Pell (plumber) for making it all work. We also have power to the docks. Sorry, the ice machine is still not working.
We will have parking laid out. Let's still continue with the permit parking system although we no longer have the yellow violation notices. Dinghies can go back on the sea wall. We will slowly start to get a sense of normalcy.
It goes without saying that all of your support has made all of the difference in keeping us moving forward. Emails, texts, phone calls and letters (yes, some still send mail) have been inspiring. We are getting contributions everyday. People coming together to help people, what an amazing thing! If anyone had any doubt about this community and all who live here, I can tell you that all is good in our little part if the world!!
Thank you from every part of us.
Ned and Dave
