About 5 weeks to go. As much as we love this place, we are looking ahead... some might call it "itchy feet," amongst 5th wheel owners, it's called "hitch itch."
Another beautiful morning, two boats for the breakfast cruise. The mosquitoes haven't let up much, but we are supposed to get a couple cool nights, tonight and tomorrow night. It was 46ยบ when we got up this morning... the mosquitoes here laugh at that temp.
Mother Nature gave us thunderstorms this afternoon. I went out with the manager in the rescue boat and "herded" rental canoes, kayaks, and powerboats back to the marina. Not soon enough, though; the storm dumped rain on us before they could get back... and hail... and lightning. Big fun when out in the metal rescue boat. We also had a shuttle pick-up for a hiker in Moran Canyon... all the way across the lake in that rain, wind, and lightning. The hiker was happy to see us, and was at the pick-up site early.
The dinner cruise was canceled this evening due to the weather... an easy day of only 9 hours for me! Joan took off early, too... nice to be home together shortly after 4:00.

No 'skeeters here but had 4.82 inches of rain yesterday, 0.57 today and lots of thunder and lightning. Sally got out on her sailboat today (AmeriSali 14.6, Wamsetta) for about an hour between storms. The "Sturgeon Moon" was kind of a bust last Friday night due to the smoke from the Great Dismal Swamp Forest Fire, 150 miles away.... (:>( )
Sorry no moon, but two big thumbs up on Sally's sail. We were weathered out for the dinner cruise last night, but the next 10 days here look pretty spectacular. Speaking of sail - I ordered a sail kit for the Hobie kayak. The only sailing I've done for the past couple years has been on OPB. ;-)
Best wishes,
Jim
