TGIF

Mornin'!  It's 69° under clear starlit skies. At the moment the plants, leaves, railings, deck floor and vehicles are drippy from the moisture in the air. The roar and aroma of the ocean is loud and clear.  It's inside too as the windows are open and somehow the island's ambiance is in the house.  It's clear and quiet now and will be partly sunny today with the chance of a shower and/or thunderstorm that's forecasted later today (30% chance).  Temps will get up into the mid 70's with breezes out of the S-SW at 10-15mph.   The Moon is almost full (actually the full moon is tomorrow) and will create higher tides than usual.  Not to mention it's the Harvest Moon (Corn Moon) which is closer to the earth than a usual full moon.  Watch the Tide waters and don't drive through it.  Not sure if we'll see any moonrise action with this "iffy" weather this weekend as it's supposed to be mostly cloudy with occasional rain thrown in the mix throughout the entire weekend.  Remains to be seen.  It never rained here yesterday or last night.  Just saying. 
High tide:7:35a.m.
Low tide:1:38p.m.
Ocean temp: 70°
Sunset:6:46p.m.
Moonrise:5:46p.m.

"Oh, Shine on, shine on, harvest moon Up in the sky; I ain't had no lovin' Since April, January, June or July. Snow time ain't no time to stay Outdoors and spoon; So shine on, shine on, harvest moon, For me and my gal."
