Yep - great for the cistern - maybe only an inch added though, but it rained all day, night, early am and is still overcast and drizzy - sun soon come :) (they say by Wednesday but maybe by tomorrow)

When I checked out the cam at about 8AM, it was raining pretty hard. Looks like it's letting up now.

It was an oil spill, someone pumped their oily bilges overboard. I went to my boat at about 8:45 and the oil stench was awful. My dinghy and boat had ring around the collar. Not a nice way to start the day!!!!
