Spring Comes to Raglan

Spring has finally announced its arrival, and it did so with torrents of rain and wind! Last night was a miserable night as the usual Raglan blizzard transmutated into a veritable rainstorm. The result was a lot of leaky windows in camp. We spent sometime just mopping up the water and trying to stay ahead of it but this got tiresome. We told Angie, the camp manager, about it and she mentioned that she had seen a trick using a bit of string and a bucket. So we got some string from a mop and an ice cream tub. We fixed the string to the window sill with a thumbtack right where the water was pooling and let the string hang down into the bucket. Voila! the water soaked the string was eventually slowly running down the string and into the bucket. Thanks Angie! I was skeptical at first but it works like a charm. I woke up with 3 inches of water in the tub! Better than on my head or in my laptop. I'll try and post a picture of the setup later.
