FROM JEANNIE SHARPE for PORT OF ORCAS |||
Still no good news on fuel availability at the Orcas airport. I was just told that the replacement cellphone program part was not shipped last week, when I called for the tracking number.
They have promised me that the new part will go out today, but I am unsure if it will be here tomorrow in time for the installer to come over and install it, or if it will be installed on Wednesday.
Please continue to buy fuel in Friday Harbor or Bellingham. I will continue to keep you posted.

Why do we not have a more resilient system for having av-gas on Orcas? Is there not a level of reserves maintained for emergencies and locals needing to fly?
