Yesterday my husband and I walked down to the beach to check how our bay was handling all the water and debris flowing down from the mountains.

More debris than I’ve ever seen and a big log or two.  Well, the drought of earlier in the year is obviously over with. Unfortunately, the end of it brought too much water, with flooding and houses washed away and other miseries. Concerns about overflow in streams in all the islands.

For me, at least, worries about climate change are no longer overblown.

Wonder if our stalwart New Years Day plungers will congregate this year for the annual dip into the bay.? They may be worried about more than just the cold.
