12/06/08 COLD CATCH



Saturday, 8:30 AM. 17 degrees, wind W, blustery. The sky is overcast, and the barometer predicts snow. It snowed 4” last night.
The wind cuts like a knife down at the City Dock. Several of the ferries and a number of fishing tugs are also moored there. I still see trawlers going out but the season is probably drawing to a close. It’s a cold catch out there!
The flags flying at the dock represent many of the ethnicities and nationalities important to the area; French, English, Norwegian, Canadian, etc. The red, white black and yellow striped flag is that of the Red Cliff Reservation. The US flag flies high above them all, but is not in the picture.
