Morning rainbows

Today was all about the weather. At 6:30 a.m. the wind speed was 0. I was surprised as the reports warned of high winds. It had rained in the night so I decided to wash the solar panels. By the time I finished the wind had arrived. It didn’t let up all day. North east to Northwest to Westerly probably averaged 30 km/hour but gusts constantly above 60 km. I read on the news that Race Rocks recorded the highest winds on southern Vancouver Island at 93 km/hour. The sky was mostly clear. Constant rainbows for 2 hours in the morning.

Visitors: none

Maintenance: solar panels cleaned, too windy for outdoor work

Energy: enough sun to charge batteries

Observations: I was hoping for this wind to blow a new bird to Race Rocks  but not yet. I did see a couple of swallow like birds. They were moving too quickly to identify.
