Little Current

6-28-12

More winged visitors on the roof this morning.

May flies.  In June. 
This has got to be the buggiest spot on earth.  Last night, we had biting flies followed by swarms of mosquitoes.  I have a tennis racquet bug zapper that provides a shock when you hit a bug and at the same time activate the battery powered charge through the wires of the racquet.  Not only do I now have tennis elbow, but we also have a six inch thick carpet of fried mosquitoes on the floor.  I don't know how they get into the boat. We close (and lock) the doors and windows, and Pam has taped plastic over the bottom of the solar vents.  I guess the next thing is duct tape over the edges of the doors.

Cruised into Little Current today.  Evidently, we are here pre-season. Several of the businesses don't open until July.  There are not many boats here yet.  It's 75 degrees today.  The weather forecaster calls it "very warm."  It's a hundert and one at home in Indiana today--now that's very warm.

They refurbished the waterfront here a couple of years ago.  The docks and showers are really nice.  Of course they only get used that one week a year that they have summer here.

We were sitting on the boat this afternoon when we saw another Rosborough pass by on a trailer.  Turns out we had met the people in February of 2010 when we were both in Punta Gorda, Florida.  Dave and Barb from Toronto.  She walked back to say hi later in the day.
