Ah a nice rainy break toward the end of the hot season. Maybe not perfectly timed for your outing but since when does the weather cooperate?
Idiots with potfolios whose value depends upon denying what 99% of scientists agree is climate change can pretend it is a hoax. Not sure if it is an increase in the strange weather or just how fast the stories spread with how well connected we are. Still, the measured slowing/changes in the flow of air and water in the oceans should make for some wild new weather for us on opposite sides of the planet!
We should be headed into soggy season so perhaps you are due for a dry fall down there?
