Weatherman Blues

Other than a brief time on Friday evening for me to capture another super sunset (above picture), it looks like the weatherman dropped the ball - again. What was supposed to be a sunny and hot weekend turned out to be a cool and rainy one. Oh well, got lots done around the cottage, including getting all the summer stuff back on the boat. We're pretty much ready to go right now, other than some minor mechanical adjustments and some waxing on the topsides. Sure was good to be back on the boat for the whole weekend!!!
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 ;-)
