Stopped at the Seattle Locks this morning on the way to the boat and caught the Puget headed in. Somewhere on TF there was some discussion of floating logs. Well, the Corps of Engineers sends this baby out every week to gather logs from the Elliott Bay/mid Sound area. Where it docks behind the Locks, there is about a 300 foot barge loaded with logs. They take it a dump it somewhere about once a month.
The next shot is of a local charter boat, the MV Olympus. We were headed out through the locks and got put into the large lock with about 6-7 other boats including the Olympus. Looked like some kind of Yacht Club event with everybody in their white slacks and dark blue blazers. The Olympus is a real beauty, built in 1929 for a hot shot financier member of the New York Yacht Club. She is immaculately maintained.
The last shot is not a boat (other than the paddle boarder), but a phenomenon we see here in Puget Sound. On warm Spring days (and to oady was an unbelievably beautiful day), when the water is still pretty cold, a fog cloud will form right at the water surface and only be about 1-3 feet high. From a distance, it looks like the water is white cotton. BTW, this shot was about 2 PM as we were leaving the marina and the Sound was as calm as I have ever seen it in the afternoon.
