GRAND MANAN, N.B.

Overcast, breeze 25-35KPH from SW, 6Ctemp, appears as if rain could revisit during the day. Cooler temps holding off till end of the week, then freezing temps return.

See Bugs mentioned cool in the Carolinas, but qualified it by saying 'especially in the shade', not a statement that influences our temps at this time of year.

Word from Novie is that vast majority of lobster fishing not going to traps until at least a price of $4/lb is on the table. The price being offered similar to local over the past couple of weeks. Catch down signifigantly in Novie, and continues to decline locally.

Donna and Patsy getting underway in the morning for an abbreviated Xmas Shopping excursion, there appears to a weather window open to accomadate the trip. I beleive they can endure a little more wind than a week or so ago, nothing is done in the shopping realm - so am told.
