The weather here is perfect! Sunny and 84 degrees.
The Gulf is just about flat, so inviting. This is the last day of maintenance. We had ten a/c units installed. Rooms deep cleaned, carpet cleaned. The grounds look great. If I didn't work here, I would vacation here!

Spa had a leak and we just finished finding it and repairing it. We had a great company come out to find and fix it. Garvis pool repair.
Hot tub work is all done, minus the small amount of deck work. Hot tub is great! The grounds look so nice. The humidity was a bit lower today. We have purchased 10 plastic lounges, and 10 plastic adirondack style chairs for the beach. I think everyone is tired of rusty beach chairs. Working on a better umbrella that is affordable.

The tropics are heating up. Nothing to worry about yet. A couple of waves in the Atlantic that they are watching. Will let you know if anything heads our way.
The spa is finished! Collector tank installed. Still waiting on hooking up the new Cat System (Constantly monitoring pH and sanitizer activity, the CAT system implements chemical dosing in proportion to demand.)
Should be Monday.
Should be Monday.
We finally got all the cable adapter boxes installed this week.
We will be trimming all the palms & other trees on the property within the next 3 weeks, it will happen on a Wednesday, just not sure what week yet.

Well the hot tub is being worked on as I write this. We had hoped it would be done earlier, but I guess there was a problem with permitting. But the collector tank is in, and the new tile is going on right now. Hopefully middle of next week it should be up and running.
Budget meeting is coming up August 26th.
Hurricane season is here, but so far so good. Tropical storm Don is headed for Texas, did not bother us.
I just heard today that one of our owners, a past board member, Lou DePaull passed away June 18th.

Well the parking lots are all done. Looks great. We have replaced the chairs in the standard units. They are bigger and look like they will hold up very well.
Coming up soon, between weeks 21 thru 26 the hot tub will be shut down. Putting in a collector tank to go from a direct suction to a gravity fed system. (State law) We're sorry for any inconvenience this will cause. But the pool will be open and it is great!

Sunny & warm with a breeze today.
This Saturday we will be adding more gravel to the parking lot, and also replacing the yellow concrete parking blocks. The deluxe side parking lot will be closed off until we get finished, hopefully no later than noon. Then we will move on to the standard side. So anyone coming in on Saturday, take your time, do a little sightseeing before you get here! We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
We have coffe & donuts and mimosa's on Tuesday's. Tastefully Simple food sale and samples on Wednesday's. $1.00 ice cream sundaes on Thursday's.
Upcoming board meeting is June 10th, 1:00pm at Surfrider. All are welcome.

Well, we have had a few rain showers the last 10 days or so. We really needed the rain. A cool front is coming today, tomorrows high should only be 83 degrees, but with lower humidity. This has been a good year for weather so far.
We have a few owners that are anxious to sell. We have deals, give me a call and I will let you know which ones.

Absolutely amazing here today! Sunny & 78 degrees
Coming across the causeway this morning I seen two kayaks,one yellow, one green, several people in small fishing boats looking for that perfect spot to drop anchor, then a larger boat probably heading out to Cabbage Key or Cayo Costa for the day(not sure if they were really going there, but that is where I would go) The water was perfect for boating. We have several units available for rent, give us a call for a great deal!

Cool start this morning, but the sun is shinning. Will be highs in the 70's all week and maybe even 80 degrees on Friday! This is the place to be. Board meeting on Friday the 18th at 1:00pm in the lobby.

We lost one of our owners yesterday, Pete Schmieler. He was the one that started the Surfrider website years ago. He also obtained the surfriderbeachclub.com domain knowing how important it would be for Surfrider. He briefly served on the board about 10 years ago. He owned weeks during 2-6, 20, 21, and 45-49. He would often be seen out at the pool with his big cup of ice and a cigar. Cooler days he would come into the office for a cup of coffee and the latest buzz. He always had a smile and made you feel like a true friend.

Today is sunny & 70 degrees. True it had been a bit chilly earlier in the week, but it made for great shelling. There were things out there I had never seen before. Sea urchins everywhere! I posted a few pictures of the beach, interesting.

Week 53 December 31, 2011-January 7,2012
I don't think this went out in the newsletter, so everyone who owns 52 and/or 1, please read.
In the year 2011 we will have a 53rd week. This week is owned by the association and is being offered to the owners at a reduced rate. Or you can exchange your week 52 for 53, or week 1 for 53 with us at the resort. The rental rate, should you wish to rent week 53 will be $700.00 plus 11% tax.
Owners of week 52 AND 1 will have first choice. You have until February 1, 2011 to make your choice. After that time, week 53 will be offered for rent to owners of weeks 52 OR 1, you have until April 1, 2011 to make your choice. After that time week 53 will be offered for rent to all Surfrider Beach Club owners. You have until May 31st, 2011. After that time, week 53 will be offered to the general public at $???.?? plus 11% tax.
Selection of the units will be on a first come basis.
Example: The owners of unit XYZ, week 52, and the owners of XYZ week 1 both want to rent unit XYZ week 53. The owner that calls with their request FIRST will secure the rental. You will have 10 days to send a $250.00 deposit made out to RAL Rental Escrow. If we do not receive it, we will put the unit back in the rental pool. There will be other units available for rent and you may rent more than 1 unit when the remaining units are offered to the general public.
Also, it is very important for all owners to make sure of your unit week arrival dates in 2012, as week 53 has a tendency to change the normal calendar dates in which you arrive.
Surfrider office phone number is: 239-472-2161 Ext. 6 8:30 - 5:00
Cyndi will take your reservations
Should you have any questions, please call us.

The weather here has been absolutely perfect! Still in the 90's, but lower humidity and a slight breeze.
Storms have not bothered us. Next one in line is tropical depression Gaston, still too far away to know where it will go. Will let you know of any updates to the weather. Beaches are still oil free, just like normal.

Another beautiful day here. Sunny & hot. Beaches are perfect. A lot of people have been finding sand dollars.
Just a reminder, no live shells can be taken here on Sanibel. There is a $50.00 per shell fine if caught with a live shell.
Sea turtle nesting season is from May thru October. Please do not leave ANYTHING on the beach between 9:00pm and 7:00am. Surfrider could be fined if in front of our resort. Or the person who left a chair or towel on the beach could be fined if caught.
