Here you see Great Cove at low tide yesterday morning, the day after a vicious wind and rainstorm that we’ll be talking about for a while. The sun was a sometimes thing over the Cove yesterday and the elements seemed sore from overexertion.
The highest wind speed reported by the National Weather Bureau for the storm in our Hancock County was 71 miles per hour; trees and downed power lines lay in disordered array in the streets, and generators hummed for those fortunate to have them. Electrical power didn’t return to our Town until yesterday afternoon. Nonetheless, as far as I can tell, our fishing fleet survived with flying colors, such as those flying over “Dear Abbie:’s” wheelhouse yesterday.
