We had a wonderful time on our cruise last week to Bermuda & Nova Scotia.

Horseshoe Bay beach in Bermuda was absolutely stunning.

Hey now! My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary on that very spot several years ago. We both agreed that Horseshoe Bay was one of the top 5 places we've ever been to.  

(I'm still partial to Mammoth Lakes  )

0.21" of rain today in Maytown. Thought it would be more. Still doing well in August, however.

That’s wonderful!
I agree, it’s certainly in our top 5 as well.

Nova Scotia (well all the maritime provinces) are amazing places and WELL worth vacation time. Prince Edward Island is one of our annual spots.

Wow, fellas, awfully impressive, complexes of storms going up at this hour.

This is actually pretty wild looking.I mean, hopefully, everything's okay out there.We got cell starting to form within the conglomerate of anvils. This looks like an epic rain maker If i've ever seen one.

[Yardstickgozinya]

Radar indicated 4' already in and around that conglomerate of cells, and they're not done yet.

Low of 67 with .3” of rain and there was another cluster of storms on the doorstep as I left the house. Been a fun month.
