[Paddlewise] fire the weatherman!

    Yesterday the forcast called for 100% chance of rain, heavy cloud cover,
winds 15 to 25mph with gusts much higher, and temps in low 40's, typical mid
February Alaska. So I prepared for one of those
just-put-your-head-down-and-paddle days where you just pretend to enjoy the
experience and the best part of the day is the hot shower afterwards.
    When I hit the water I discovered no rain (not even a drop) no wind, glass
calm seas, huge holes in the clouds letting the sun through and the temps
climbing into the mid 50's. I paddled ten miles enjoying the scenery and
wildlife of the Wrangel Narrows.
    They ought to fire the weatherman.How could they miss it by so much?

With tongue firmly planted in my cheek,

Bob
