Winter Is Just Arund The Corner! ! !! !

SHIP'S LOG:

    This is the last week of summer! Actually, if you think about and drive by schools, summer is already over. There is something just "wrong" with kids going back to school before Labor Day. The weather is cooperating with the "end of summer theme" as it is actually cool-so-much-as-tobe-almost-colf' at night and the wind, whenever it blows has an underneath seam of cold in it. Just as in the spring, there is in every breeze warmth that promises summer, now the wind carries te dire promise of  coming winter.

    We had a nasty rain storm overnight. No real wind to speak of but lots of rain and it was cold rain too. Bats are calling in to get mooring space for the Off-Soundings Weekend that is coming up. There is on such race weekend in the Spring and one in the Fall, and we have already had the spring version. It is just another harbinger of the coming winter. I suppose it would be such a traumatic thing if I had an idea where I would be spending it , here, or between here and Florida, or in Florida, but as of right now I have no clue. I am still eternally hopefully that something in the "higher realms" will; work out and I will go back to work, but as of right now nothing seems to be percolating in that direction. It is a question of wait and see.
