Fishtown never shuts down, especially on a rainy day. And like all rainy days, it stops and the sun comes out. At least 6 people asked if it was alright if they petted Biscuit and of course my response, yes, but you have to have your picture with him. This happens every day.

I have seen Big Blue with calm water but never until this morning, with still water, not a ripple of any kind. Even with a hazy sky you can see the hazy reflection. As the day progressed, strange cloud formations dominated the sky. Sunset should be interesting.

Today is actually a good day to stay away from the areas that are being harvested. The Clay Cliffs area being one of them. There are a lot of out of town visitors here because of the weather, hopefully they will be careful.

All the Charter boats were out on Big Blue early this morning leaving the home port empty. Leland was lucky in the aftermath of Sunday’s storm, Glen Arbor not so. The access to the dunes and Stocking Drive are all closed to traffic as well as Glen Haven, Glen Arbor along with the surrounding area. Thousands are still without… Read more »
