Another great morning, no wind, clear, temp 16C. Giving samething all day. That means lots of yard work to attack.
Attended the firework display last night, and great show. The venue was tailormade, and a huge crowd on hand.

Clear, temp 14C, no wind. Looking to be a good weekend for the holiday weekend.

Emily having a great time at the lake, stated she didn't miss her grandmother, but qualified that by saying she did but wasn't homesick.

MISTRESS has been successful with the herring wars with the last batch from the Banks. Most whales around they have ever seen. Must be making thier way up into the Bay.

Wind change to NW, now clear, temp 14C, wind about 10 KPH. Giving a sunny and good temp for the long weekend.
MISTRESS was successful but fish from the head of the Bay so 10 hrs up and back. Large spawned herring for the most part.
Rob returned (reluctantly) from his adventure. Had a grand time, and ready to travel at a moments notice. Emily off for her week on the mainland. Called last night, and has already met afriend from across the lake - Ryan.

A slight breeze from the west, sunny, temp 18C - a very good start to the day.
Yesterday was also plenty of sun, and hot. Getting a few of these days in a row could be habit forming.

Another glorious morning, with temp already at 19C, no wind and clear. Moon was great on the water last night, almost like daylight at 2300 HRS.
The high temps( for here) are unusual, but have not heard any complaints from anybody.
Have got a start on getting the winter wood undercover.It has taken awhile to have it cured,

A continuation of yesterdays weather, once the day got going so did the sun, and heat. Overnight temp down to around 18C. Currently clear, no wind, temp 21C, and will increase as the day goes on.
This swing in the weather is almost too much of a good thing because of the high humidity, but still great to see the sun for an extended period of time.
Pump repaired and MISTRESS back at it, would have been a beautiful night on the water.

Once again fog to start the day, and no wind, temp 12C. The sun is attempting to make its way through, and hopefully will be successful by noon.
On the mainland very hot with yesterday a warning being issued for most of the Province of a Humidex to 41C - that makes the fog look pretty good.
No herring overnight we had some problems with our TRANSVAC, so stood down until repaired.

FOG,pretty well says it again this AM. No wind, Temp 13C the forecast is what you see is what you get.
Herring still plentiful, but quota is a concern, we have not been advised of what this years total. Makes it difficult to manage what we do with our allocation.

Looks like more of the same old, same old FOG this morning. Darft from the sw, so unlikly to clear unless more westerly gets the nod. Temp real nice at 13C, prospect of rain all week.
Everybody returned to thier locations after wedding festivities. The trip on the ferry uneventful, and flat calm.

Winds still from the north, temp 11C, and RAIN. Getting a little like mildew around here. Not a lot of respite in the forecast over the next week.
Unusual to have the wind from the north this time of year as the prevailing wind is from the south = as a rule,
Succesful week in the herring fishery have approx. 170 Ton in the freezer at this moment.

At daylight fog so thick couldn't see the shore. Slight wind from the east, and fog is moving off. Temp 10C. Canadian weatherman saying clear all day, and US fellow saying overcast and rain. Looking out the window at this moment gives no clear winner - it is overcast but clearing.
MISTRESS has had a successful week of fishing, and will stand down for the weekend - new government(DFO)conditions.

Another dreary day, winds NE at 20kph, temp 12C, and rain. Prevailing wind for this time of year should be sw, and has been northerly since spring.
Herring around, and we are getting our share.

Foggy this AM, and already one good shower. No wind, and expected to have rain for the next 24 hours. Temp at 12C. Rain is good as the gardens, and lawn need a little soaking. Hopefully it will do its' thing and move off for the weekend.

Foggy with sw wind this AM. Looks as if will burn off in short order. Temp. 11C, and expected to rise to 20-22C before end of the day.
MISTRESS got herring on the Grand Manan Banks enough for a hold full to Nova Scotia, and enough to get our plant started also.
Lawn is caught up for the next few days, and flower gardens just about weeded.
