...and then it was still

We awoke this morning to stillness. The boat wasn't being blown about. There was no rain hammering on the roof. All was still.

The boat which had been pinned to this service platform had finally been able to leave...

and moored boats had ceased to jostle with each other. 

The owner of the canoe had bailed several inches of rainwater out of it...

and I was able to photograph this flag iris without fighting against the wind.

It was a good day, and we got several jobs done.
