Friday, July 24

Well, the weather guys were right. Today is a nasty, rainy, windy day. We are lucky we got the wedding in yesterday because it would have been a total washout today. Wind was sustained at twenty knots most of the day and peaked at thirty-five. Seas were high and we got six tenths of an inch of rain.

According to the Central Maine Shelf buoy wave height peaked at ten feet this afternoon, water temp is fifty-six degrees and the wind at thirty knots.

It was a lazy day around here. At least for me. Brenda has a hard time sitting still so she decided to sand the drywall and put a base coat of paint on the ceiling of the guest bathroom. I didn’t do much of anything. I watched a movie called “The Fog”, took a nap, sat around, etc. You know, the stuff old people do.

What can I say? I’m guilty.

Not much else to say. I still haven’t seen Lawrence. I don’t know if he is hiding, staying out of the rain, or what. I’ll let you know when I see him again.
