A steady rain today one of those foggy, cold, damp days that we always seem to have in November. The good news is that it is not real cold (52 degrees right now) which is pretty easy on the wood pile. We are having a steady southeast wind at around 20 miles per hour driving the rain. Not a bad day to be working at my desk. I realized this weekend that I have transitioned from guiding full time to working indoors. I was feeling unsettled by the change but did not realize that it had happened. It is not a time with nothing to do but a change in what I do each day.

This weekend we had quite a gale with winds of over 50 miles an hour from Saturday afternoon to late Sunday. Most of Saturday we had torrential rain that was as much horizontal as vertical. I knew that the seas would be something to see so Argy and I took a ride down to Pemaquid Point Saturday afternoon. There were waves that I would guess to be about twenty feet high and a few higher ones crashing in on the rocks. There was pelting rain and salt spray flying through the air. We stood behind the brick fog signal so that we would not be blown back by the wind.

I spent last week in northern Maine guiding grouse hunters at Libby Camps. I enjoy the chance to spend time in remote country. The dogs seem to like it as well even though they arrived home exhausted. After a couple of days off they are sitting at the kennel gates waiting patiently to go again.
