SHIP'S LOG:
It didn't snow yesterday and if the forecasts are to be believed, the much anticipated Nor'easter is going to give us a miss come Sunday. But as in all things relating to weather, whether or not the forecast is spot on, one always has to deal with what one gets.
It did get very cold again last night and that should be repeated for the next few days. I know that we will all laugh at this come summer and dwell on it nostalgically come July and August when the heat and humidity battle over who can go higher. I love that because I can always get cooler but never can seem to get completely warm, or if I do, to stay so. Heck, to get cool, all I have to do is step off the boat!
There was a news report of a sailor/fisherman from El Salvador who was just rescued after being a castaway for over 13 months. Reportedly, he drifted across the Pacific in his boat and ended up on some rather small atoll, surviving on fish, seabirds and rain water. He looks in very good shape. It is a cautionary tale though, never go fishing!
