What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
- Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
- Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.
