\"RedUmbrella\"<\/a>Is it raining where you are?<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh yes\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Thought it sounded like it<\/em><\/p>\n

You know it\u2019s pretty heavy rain when the person you\u2019re talking to can hear the drops hitting your Tinker Bell umbrella over the cell phone connection.<\/p>\n

This is the \u201cweek of lasts\u201d for our Canada\/New England season. Each time we put a port to our rudder, we are doing so for the final time this year. You simply can\u2019t stay in this area during the winter, or even the late fall really \u2013 the heavy rain will eventually turn to snow and biting cold, and that\u2019s not the kind of weather people like to vacation in. so we\u2019re turning tail and heading towards warmer climes \u2013 just like birds heading south for the winter.<\/p>\n

Personally I like the rain, although it does make me tend to crave fireplaces and hot cocoa.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t notice it as much in this area as you do in say, Alaska, where entire streets pack up and follow us to fun and sun; but all around us in every port are signs that the touristy areas of town are closing up shop for the season. Yesterday in Charlottetown a bedraggled looking empty pier stood where only last week a thriving sea-side restaurant had been; packed up and put away like it was never there. As for Sidney, it\u2019s never been the most bustling town to begin with, and with weather like this even the locals are trenching in for the cold season and barely showing their faces.<\/p>\n

And as for me, I have to admit that despite the cold the world looks sunnier now. It could easily be something as simple as the fact that I\u2019ve been getting more sleep, but the haze that seems to have been over me the last few weeks is finally starting to lift. Not that it was particular bad\u2026it was something like, looking through a fog bank and not quite being able to make out the far horizon.<\/p>\n

But hey, rain, snow, cold or sun we go on right?<\/p>\n

So\u2026Europe here we come!<\/p>\n
