Aflac & His Stunt Doubles

It was windy all night and it continues through the day. We go for a walk, leaning against the wind, down to the lake, the boat ramps, and the marina. I guess the wind speed at 30 knots, but later reports from the radio and a Park Ranger tell us it was 40 with gusts to 50 or 60 knots. There are whitecaps and waves blowing up to a foot or more high. We have a nice chat with the fellow who runs the marina. He’s really closed today due to the weather, and he is babysitting his 5-year-old grandson, while his dad, the Park Superintendent, is out on the water with two other rangers, teaching them the fine points of this dangerous and rough weather that only blows up this way every once in a great while.

Four men are outside on the docks, fishing in this gale! To our surprise, we see them bring up a nice crappie--they are catching a bunch of fish. As we are walking away, we see the Ranger boat come in. We bet they had quite a ride.

We return to the comfort of the RV and enjoy a lazy afternoon and another beautiful sunset as we stay another night.
