Dear Subscriber,
This email is to all property owners at Pigeon Cay on Cat Island, Bahamas, at least to all for whom we have email addresses. On our last stay we learned from Monie that roads that couldn’t be driven on were called ‘donkey roads’ since you had to get out of your vehicle and ride a donkey to pass over them. Sadly, our road at Pigeon Cay is becoming a donkey road and Ned has asked me to assist in getting everyone to help. It’s been ten years since our private road was last filled and leveled and four years since Ned did some much needed fill-ins, which has now all been either washed away from rain or driven away by driving too fast.
It’s time to make some much needed repairs, fixing the worst parts of the road between the main road and just beyond PCBC, the area that always deteriorates first. The repairs will involve filling the holes, then compacting and leveling the road. The cost to do this much needed work is about $4,000 and Peter Christie is picking up $1,000, leaving only $3,000 to be shared by the property owners. If each of us can pitch-in $150 we can have our road back to drivable condition by the upcoming holidays.
To make this $150 as simple as possible, I’ve created a page at GoGetFunding.com to handle the collection of the funds to keep it separate from my personal accounts. Simply click on the link and make your contribution. This also allows everyone to see how we’re doing towards meeting our goal of $3,000. The funding needs to be done as soon as possible so repairs can be started. I’ll work with Ned in keeping this project as transparent as possible for everyone and will post updates on our PigeonCay.org property owners’ website.
Victoria and I will be back to Cat in early December so we look forward to seeing as many of our neighbors and friends then and to driving on a much improved road. Resurfacing the road is something we need to consider for a later date as that will cost almost tens times more. For now, these are critical repairs needed as soon as possible, as anyone that’s driven on the road this year can attest. If you have any questions please send me an email at james@pigeoncay.org or james@nutesla.com (my business account).
Regards,
James D. Honeycutt, Lot 28 Pigeon Cay Beach
