No worries all is well with fires on Catalina Island.

I watched from my boat at the Isthmus the lightning strikes. It was one wild night with thunder, lightning, hot wind and at least seven different fires started by lightning. Sunday morning I took my dingy down to Empire Landing (about 20 minutes by boat from Avalon, ten from the Isthmus) and they had held the fire from the houses there at the "old Empire Quarry". All day Sunday 3 or 4 helicopters did water drops on the fires. But all is well and with the help of some great fire fighters I believe all fires are out.

We need all you tiki friends to help get the word out on Catalina Island Tikifest. With only a few weeks to go we need your help getting those last minute people to "get on boooooard the Tiki boat to Catalina Island". Just call 310 510-0178 ext 602 or go to http://www.catalinatikifest.com.

All you procrastinators get you tiki butts in gear and get your tickets, you know who you are (:

Any questions ? As always gimme a hollar,

Mahalo,

Jerry
