Today is Tuesday, August 23, 2016.  Winds blow rafts to Canada.  A gold medalist gets a date.  Fisherman finds a pearl.

Wind Blows Rafts to Canada

About 1,500 people on inflatable rafts were blown into Canadian waters by strong winds on Sunday.  The annual Port Huron Float Down takes place on the St. Clair River, which divides Michigan from Ontario, Canada.  The 7.5 mile route is supposed to start at Port Hurron, Michigan’s Lighthouse Beach and end at Chrysler Beach in Marysville, Michigan.

There were minor injuries and a bus service brought the American rafters back to their homeland.

Gold Medalist Gets a Date

Oakland Raiders tight end Colton Underwood asked Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman out on a date.  She said yes.  People talked about this for some reason.

Fisherman Finds a Pearl

A fisherman found a pearl that weights 34 kilograms. That’s more than 74 pounds.

Now, he found it ten years ago and kept it as a “good luck charm.”  It is easily a record and is worth millions.
