Sound Scenes from Yesterday

You don’t mind us driving where you’re fishing do you?

Not as long as you don’t mind us fishing above where you’re diving.

I wish I could show you a picture of the Osprey with a catch…you’ll have to go to an eariler post to see that.

Opening Day

Our best guess is that these early risers are in search of Ling Cod…what do you think?

Surprise Sunset for a Drizzly Day

I didn’t expect to see a pretty sunset today–this literally took my breath away.  I guess I shouldn’t under estimate Mother Nature!

How Low Can You Go?

Not as low as yesterday’s low tide of minus 2.5 which brought field trips of giggling and oohing children to Mee Kwa Mooks and along the shore below Emma Schmitz View Point.

Today’s low tide will be a minus 2.2 at 2:54 this afternoon and this Heron doesn’t seem to mind one bit.

USS John C. Stennis, Sail Boats and Yacht Photos

While I was taking a break, my husband captured several photos that I want to share with you.

On March 28, 2008 the Aircraft USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) was cruising through Puget Sound leaving Bremerton after six months of pampering and upgrades to get her into "ship-shape" form.

The very next day, March 29, 2008 we were treated to a sail boat race.   Does anyone have more information on this event?

Later that afternoon, a "ghost ship" passes by…

And last but not least, it appears Delta Marine was cruising one of their luxury yachts. I believe this one is the Marama.    Delta Marine’s most famous yacht is the Laurel.
