Tropical Storm Hanna

Today we used the passing of the remnants of TS Hanna to take the day off and loaf around the motorhome as the wind blew and rain fell. It was a scenic storm here on the water but not necessarily a strong one; we had about two inches of rain n the past 24 hours and the winds were probably gusting to 45-50mph this morning.Mostly the storm made for glorious sights as the surf pounded the rocks and the tide returned here in St Margarets Harbor. Jeff did go out for a couple of hours of photography along the coast and a walking tour through Peggy's Harbor and out to the lighthouse. The fact that this occurred on Sunday helped bring crowds of people out to Peggy's Cove.
By 3:00PM the storm had passed and the skies cleared. It was a beautiful evening here on St Margarets bay.We had consider going out to dinner but when you can go next door and have 1 3/4 lb freshly cooked lobster for 17.50 what the heck! Two nights of lobster in a row is really pushing it! We are definitely going to lighten up for a few days.
