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.

Hi! Old Man Winter sure is hanging tough, throwing all
kinds of tantrums. Hang in there, TEA. Hope you are
feeling more comfortable since having the procedure,
especially with your breathing.

Hi Stasia! Oh no, black ice is so scary and deceiving.
Hope you don’t have to be out in it.

Good morning, TEA! Crazy feet, right!
😀 Seeing them in the harbor for the first time, Deborah
informed me as to what they are called. Never heard of a Coot
before! Hope today is a good one! I’ll be leaving soon for the store
as a weak winter storm might be so generous as to leave a little
snow and sleet starting tonight. Cats are very worried if they
have enough food in the pantry. lol
