On The Island...Where Nobody Goes....

Gusting to 70mph+ here & no high wind warning??

WOW. Just WOW! I'm feeling our little place rock and roll around me. We took Katie for a walk earlier and watched the trees bend and the wind-driven waves crash around by the inlet. I'm sure it's not quite as windy in Klawock, but it is HOWLING with trees down in Craig. Wild night. Nothing about a wind advisory or warning or anything. Rumor has it the ferry won't go in the morning, and the barge isn't going to make it in tomorrow (which is REALLY inconvenient...

Bipolar Prince of Wales Weather & Bears at the River

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:17:00 GMT

It's on again, off again for the rain here. At the moment, it's off again (although, it's raining in Klawock). Conversations in the house went like this yesterday:Hey! It's not raining! Oops ... now it is... Hey! It stopped raining! Wait ... now it is ... Whoa! It's stopped -- (and Tim says, "Honey, cut it out.") ... but, now it's raining again... :/We finally gave up, pulled on our XtraTuffs and slickers and went fishing. We honestly caught two dog salmon and di...

Rain, rain, rain, rain, and MORE rain. 8 days ago, someone walked into the library and said, "I heard it was going to rain and blow like a son of a -- for the next 10 days." "Oh," Barb and I laughed, "no way. You never can tell out here and the forecasts are rarely right." Ugh. Eight days of raining and blowing like a son of a --. We've all just about had enough. That's not to say there haven't been any clear spots, there certainl...

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! (and a Blessing of the Fleet)

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 01:40:00 GMT

^___^HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE! My dad is doing GREAT for having gotten a new knee about a week and a half ago! He's 81, sounded GREAT on the telephone, and is nearly completely mobile and will be able to go home from the rehabilitation center where they've been doing some serious physical therapy on him since the operation ... home by maybe next Friday! ♥Here in Craig, it's the Annual Blessing of the Fleet! Fishing boats showed up to re...

Hooray! It's Raining!

That shouldn't be news in a rainforest, but, since we haven't had any really significant rain for nearly a month, it's a big deal....Not a heavy, blow-y, gale-y rain... just a cold, soft, drip-y rain. Ahhh.... That's better. ^____^
