Hey Wayne and Greg ...

I just checked the Southwest Florida Eagle cam. Say's it's cloudy and
37 degrees.

Hell, right now it's 35 degrees here and we are under a blizzard warning.

Better keep an eye on the weather down there :-)

Right now it's 47 where we are, headed for 67. That's freezing by our
standards but the wind is down a lot from yesterday. I was supposed
to go out on a Grady White up in Sarasota Bay yesterday to watch my
oldest son race his sailboat but conditions were too severe and the
whole thing was cancelled. The bay was totally covered with whitecaps
and blowing spray. There was a 45 ft sailboat banging into the rocks
that had broken loose from somewhere. As my son would say, it was
blowing cats out of trees.


All those whitecaps are know as 'sheep in the meadow' on our coastal areas.
North coast of California does have a lot of real sheep in meadows and
fields.
