Last fall a group of amphibious car enthusiasts came to check out the island. The writeup in their newsletter indicated that TMI is just the sort of idyllic setting many of their members might enjoy for a vacation, with one obvious exception: the lack of on-island parking.

The committee is now considering a concrete boat ramp at Pumphouse beach, with a gravel drive leading to the tennis court.

It is anticipated that even on weeks with cars on the island that excursions would leave the court available for tennis several hours each day.
