More Cool and Wet Weather

Friday night fireworks became Saturday night fireworks -- really a very spectacular show for a relatively small community -- and everyone (Fish, Sue, and Rosemarie -- later Oat) came over to my boat to watch.

Sunday, a return of the drizzle and periods of sun that have characterized most of the last two weeks.  Charlevoix did send off the second round of fireworks on Sunday night, but we all stayed hunkered down in our boats because of the cold.

Then there were a couple of days where it looked like it might be promising enough to venture out -- only to have the evenings and nights punctuated with strong winds, thunder, lightening, and RAIN.  It is now Friday, the second of August, and as I sit here it is drizzling again and there is a definite chill in the air.  So, no plans for today except to keep dry and warm.

Have, of course, not suffered for lack of things to do -- including a day of shopping in Petoskey with Rosemarie (where naturally the sun came out after we had concluded that boating was out for the day) and a pleasant dinner on Lake Charlevoix with Oat and Rosemarie later in the week.  There are some talented chefs in this part of the world, so the diet has gone with the wind.

Hope to be out of here Tuesday morning for ten days or so of boating with my friend Susan who is driving up from Florida this weekend.  Sure hope the weather holds!  And, NOT THIS WEATHER.
