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.

@ TEA, do you remember the date that Carlos shut down Molly and McGee and went off in his RV ! 🤗
According to my records…😉…Carlos started the webcam in March of 2010.
Webcam was taken off line in October 20, 2010.
Perhaps SPO has more correct dates.
Thanks tea, I was just trying to work out how long I had been with SPO and it was a couple of months before that cam ended ! 👌
Happy New Year 2026 ✨
