We ordinarily have 90-degree weather in August here in Michigan. Thanks to Charley, we've had 60-degree weather . . . I'm not complaining! ----- Original Message ----- From: <chbenneck@juno.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 10:48 AM Subject: working, working, working... Hi Bill, You're right, yesterday the sky was so washed and sparklely that it looked brand new! The air also smelled new! This isn't our "normal" weather. It's more like the tail end of a hurricane, but when Charlie came by a week ago, we hardly noticed it - just some mild rain. No, this weather was a big exception to normal August, New England weather. I talked with a woman a few minutes ago, just back from a week on Cape Cod. She told me it was so cold on the beach that they had the blankets over them! Had paid $10 to go to the beach so they stayed and froze! Happy sailing Connie
