GRAND MANAN, N.B.

Posted by: GRANDMANAN, 9:08 AM GMT on May 22, 2013

Unfortunately weatherman has it correct, rain, as in the forecast till Sunday. A draft from SE, the 8C seems much cooler due to the moisture.

A quick trip, as part of a delegation, to Fredericton to visit the Legislature as guests on the floor of the House. The Minister of Tourism requested a presence for the announcement the ANCHORAGE Provincial Park was opening this season with the local BOYS & GIRLS CLUB being the operator. The previous announcement was the Park was being closed till a suitable operator could be identified. One year contract with the option to move into longterm partnership.

A quick turn around to St. George this morning for a meeting of folks in the Region to explore the possibility of smaller cruise ships visiting, Campobello, Grand Manan and St. Andrews, all very preliminary.

Wooly this morning, can see up the harbour, not quite to the Ross Island shore across. Total calm, 7C, weather forecast telling fog, followed by showers/rain for the remainder of the week. Temps to make it to low double digits, May a dud weather-wise, so far at least.

Rob had a full day, final lobster boat reporting in around 7PM, a little rockweed harvested. Emily had a quiet day at Garden Centre, rain and cool temps not conducive to working in the yard....

The unofficial weekend to start summer a dud, cool @7C, a steady rain, no wind. Temp might make it to double digits, slowly clearing by tomorrow, and return to similar conditions shortly after as the week unfolds.

Returned to Bermuda of the Maritimes first boat yesterday, managed to get the lawns under control. Not a chance to do some repairs on the winter kill, hoped to get at it this morning, not going to happen.

Clearing skies in St. John temp a,very cool 2C possible showers by evening. Only day without moisture next week appears to be Tuesday, also temps still below temps one can expect this time of year.

Attended a HSGGARD concert in Winnipeg decades ago, must say the quality of his efforts have improved a great deal. Grand entertainment,the HAG on stage for more than an hour hasn't lost any of his skills, support group very good.

Can't quite fathom what time of year looking out the window would indicate. A northerly draft, overcast, a cool 5C doesn't give one the idea spring has sprung by any stretch. Temp might make it to the double digits, if so not far. Possible sunny periods for today and tomorrow, upcoming week not much difference with the possibility of moisture most days.

Off for an overnighter to St. John to take in Merle HAGGARD, last time I took in his show in Winnipeg d...
