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.
No idea what this is !
Blind as a bat just saw the writing “coast guard” !
😀
Hi Beryl !!!😅
Did anyone else see the guy walking on the guard railing yesterday?
Looked very dangerous. If he had slipped and into the cold water,
yikes. Should have taken a pic. But I’ll give it to him, he handled
it like a mountain goat.
Hello Angie ! I saw, the wasn’t the first🥺
I always get scared for them when they do that
Hanging out for a few. Sent hubby on a breakfast run.
Happy day to everyone.
Good morning everyone ! Have a nice Sunday…😘,..
Have a blessed Sunday Stasia. 🌸
Hello Tea ! Have a good day 💗
Trader….😀
Looks like big shards of glass floating in the canal. Makes me
pull the blanket a little tighter.
Seems like more ice as the day goes on.
Very cold indeed.
TEA, think I’ll go thrifting and look for the rose teacup.
This is our last day of warmth before winter returns such
as it is in NC. Happy and peaceful afternoon!
Good luck finding the rose teacup.😊
This is one of mine.
