Notes

Hazy and windy today with around 3 MM rain over past 24 hours. Haze is being caused by the forest fires out west with smoke drifting this far and causing air quality warnings to be issued. Few seagulls flying around, some folks fishing and many boats out on the water with lots docked at the marina. Nice chat with a young local resident who cottages on the Island so he was interested in our water testing and I gave him a card to learn more about it. He’s a local home builder ( Hickory Homes ) & I mentioned the importance of maintaining natural shorelines and the Pugnose Shiner program our CSG is part of this summer with Watersheds Canada and Natural Edge.
