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.

The crane was on like a barge I think but couldn’t see. It was right up on the walkway, on the other side away from the camera.

I couldn’t see the rocks in the water. They were right by that walkway to the light house……..I think?
