Weatherman Blues
After we all got over that bit of excitement, it was on to Saturday's rain storm. I took this one right before the rain hit with the approaching clouds in the background; A quick note on the above picture. As some of you have already noticed, AG picked up a new flag to replace the old, tattered one. As of right now, that old flag has not been disposed of, as there was some controversy as to what should be done with it. Seems Anchor Girl wasn't too comfortable with my informing her that the proper etiquette for disposing of an old Canadian flag is to burn it. Well it is. Here's a LINK to the government of Canada web site that outlines these sorts of things.
After it stopped raining, the Pefferlaw River had risen to the highest point any of had ever seen - in all the years we have been coming there ;-)

Just In Case . . .
Just in case you were considering a trip to The Bay this year - or if you are just up for some reminiscing - I put together a video montage of the Picnic Island store & docks in Honey Harbour. If you watch closely (there will be a test), you'll notice lots of A.) Wind and B.) Boat Traffic. The C.) Lots Of Rocks goes without mentioning.
Pretend you didn't read that :-)
Any who, for anyone wanting to spend a few days in the area of Honey Harbour or Beausoleil Island, this is the #1/only spot for boat fuel (gas), people fuel (food/gas), pump out, water, french fries and ICE CREAM. All of the above in one spot. Probably why it's always so darned busy. And a real treat to get in and out of! Did I mention the constant wind? Watch;
