you can surf out that way? I'll have to grab a soft top and grow out my mustache and hit the line up.

Wow, that sucks! I would think that would have been an important station, lots of fishing, whale watching and such in the area.
Hopefully they can bring it back.
Also make BWD's weather stations at gordo's that much more important.

Maybe we should turn that off for a while?

Exactly. It's like switching over to reliance on Coast Guard Auxiliary. Why pay when volunteers do it for free!

Bright rainbow briefly appeared over Sheringham Point this morning. Maybe that's an omen. Seems like nothing happens with the FEDS unless a direct request to Justin Trudeau.

Rocdoc received an email explaining the Sheringham problem is due to sketchy electrical on the site. The station is operated on the Sheringham Point Lighthouse preservation Society owned site by Environment Canada.
All parties involved wish to rectify the problem as soon as possible apparently
