No not just in the trips I have guided this week. Although I have done a number of different trips in the last several days, salt water fishing to canoeing. Rather how conditions can be different even in a short period of time.
This morning I had a family fishing on Megunticook Lake in Camden after having been there last evening. Both fathers wanted to fish with their kids and I was pleased to be able to pick them up at their respective docks. Kind of unusual for me to have two of the same trips back to back but I digress.
Ok; it is raining hard again this morning. Today’s client thought that it might not be much fun to stand in a boat for a few hours in the pouring rain (really can’t blame him) and I was starting to get grumpy. It has turned into the Reign of Rain, summer 2009. So Argy, always the optimist, suggested that I make a list of ten good things about this summer’s weather. I am always up for a challenge so here is my list
Sometime during Thursday night Argy woke me and we were right in the middle of a tremendous thunderstorm. The lighting was frequent and vivid; it must have been raining hard but that did not register at that moment. I got up at 4 the next morning and looked down the driveway at our road. It was dark and foggy but I thought I could see something, a mound of dirt maybe? I figured that leaves or loose hay had blown into the road in the storm. Wrong.
