Out on Ediz Hook (map). Low tide, and it was really Very Quiet. There were two tankers at anchor, Polar Enterprise and Alaskan Legend. Legend's engines were running though she wasn't going anywhere, seeming very noisy. A number of pilot guys going in and out their gate. Of ducks, buffleheads and wigeons.
The Polars were more fun when they all had "Polar" painted on the sides in big white letters (1)(2) you could read from far away, even from up on my deck (with binoculars; the Han Jins you can read without binocs). But as they got fresh paint over the last year or so the 'Polar' on the sides disappeared.
Granted it was very late in the day, nearing sunset if there had been any sun— but it looked like this more or less all day. No rain, no snow, just gray.

Beautiful shots of the straits there. Even with all that cloud cover and gray, it's lovely. We're having lots and lots of rain here. It's really great to have it coming down day after day, despite the havoc it plays on our California roads and highways.
