Well, according to the Globe, the rainfall for the past two months has set a record: 22.26 inches in May and June as of this past Sunday. Blue skies today, however (see photo for proof).
Very blustery today - wind was from the SSW, so it was good for the work-bound commute, but will be a battle on the way home. But not as much of a battle, however, as the sailors in the photo. It's too bad that the camera I use most of the time is really only good for close-ups of sub-atomic particles, cause what I saw this morning was pretty funny.
As I came around to the outcrop, I saw a capsized Community Boating sailboat with two people in the water. The boat wasn't entirely capsized, though, and was more laying on its side. As a Community Boating safety boat was motoring out to do some recon on the situation, an especially vigourous gust of wind righted the sailboat and it sailed off by itself.
Unfortunatley it was a short-lived journey. As the boat came about, the wind smacked it down again, this time in a true mast-down, centerboard up capsize.
