About 14 MM rainfall in past 24 hrs Sunny and calm day now. Water levels very high and the boat launch is under water that normally would be visible. Lots of boats out fishing on the bay. Spoke with one person as they were setting out and gave them the info about Water Rangers and he thanked us for doing this sort of volunteer work. Pair of swans and ducks on the lake.

About 4 mm rainfall in past 24 hrs. Overcast and quite windy now. Fishermen just coming in to dock said they caught lots of bass. Father & son from Montreal fishing off the dock jsut catching some little fish. We talked about Water Rangers , showed them some tests and gave a card & they asked about cost for a kit...gave them our discount code too in case they wanted to order once home. Some ducks on the water and seagulls flying. Quite windy and choppy surface. Lots of seaweed chopped up from boats coming and going. Green algae bloom too.

Spitting rain a bit currently after about 4-5 mm rainfall in past 24 hours. Overcast skies and medium winds. 2 young kids were fishing along the dock catching some small perch and putting them back. Asked us what we were doing so showed them, had them watch a few of our tests and give us their opinion of the readings, and gave them a postcard so they could look it up online later.

Very dry conditions in our region for the past few months. Today is very hot & humid with hazy cloud cover....calm winds and water. A lot of green algae bloom on either side of the dock along shoreline, more on the west than east. Weeds can be seen under the surface of the water reaching from bottom to near the surface where we test at the end of the dock. On my way back to the car some boaters who had been docked & having lunch asked about what I was doing so we had a 10 minute conversation about Water Rangers. They were very interested and were going to look up the site when they got home tonight. They commented how glad they were that this was all public domain information as they have tried getting any info from local conservation authorities and have been frustrated by lack of co-operation and unwlingness to share any data on lake and river quality tests.
