Twelve Windjammer residents participated in the annual InterVillage Golf Challenge on April 14. Dennis Clark acted as team captain. All teams played well, and Windjammer Village placed in the middle of the pack. Black shorts and red shirts were the team colors, and our men looked really sharp on the course. Congratulations to Lighthouse Village, the 2025 Champions.
Windjammer’s golfers finished in the middle of the pack at the InterVillage Golf Challenge.
We had an all-male team unfortunately, since none of our female players signed up to play. That is a shame given that all other teams had both men and women players. Let’s change that next year, put together the best team we can, and take back the trophy in 2026.
Awards presentations and a wonderful chicken and rib dinner served up by the food and beverage staff following the event. If anyone is interested in playing next year, please notify Dennis Clark or Bentley Collins.
The Crossjack Court Project
In late March we started the project to correct the water drainage problem in Crossjack Court. The concrete was removed, new drains were installed, and mountains of pavers were delivered. Randy and Diane Skipton had diligently researched the most cost-effective way to have pavers instead of concrete installed. With the help of the new drainage system, the pavers will allow the water to drain much more effectively. The Skiptons also chose perfect pavers to complement the existing ones in the walkways.
Our landscapers are working on the irrigation system, and the electricians are fixing the walkway lighting. Once we are satisfied that the drainage works properly and the lighting and irrigation have been completed, Hillary Combs and the Landscaping Committee will work with Every Day Landscape on the finishing touches. If all goes well this project will be completed by the end of May.
Things are happening at Windjammer
Many of our residents have already left to spend the summer in cooler regions, but those of us still around are witnessing a lot of activities.
The Milestone repairs (stairs and walkways) in the four-story buildings are moving according to plan. Spanker Court is finished, and we expect Bowsprit and Jib Boom to be completed by the end of May. The Spanker/Crossjack carports that were damaged by a tree during Milton have been removed and are being replaced by mid-May.
All elevator control systems are being upgraded to the most current safety and reliability standards and the cars will be renovated to new conditions. We expect this project to be completed by mid-July. The above projects are only a part of more to come before the summer is over.
