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.

Hello everyone. 😊
A chilly day at canal and here too in PA. A cloudy day with a high temperature about 35°.
I made a big pot of Chili. Enough to freeze for quick meals.
Have a pleasant Wednesday.

Good morning, Ardyth! Hope your day will be

a fern for the porch.
