Friday mailboat'n. Male and female harlequin ducks, a warf, a whole mess of sea anemones and the NE corner of Blakely Island.
Spring in the San Juans = unsettled weather. The islands were shrouded with PNW mist today. It was a wet one for mailboat'n. The top spider crab is normal size, the lower one is enormous. A purple starfish (pisaster ochraceus), current bending around a rock and a seal conclave.
Back at the helm. It's always good to be mailboat'n! I never really know what I'm going to share. Today, I thought I would capture misty shots of the Juans. Instead, you get the 3 Amigos, and look who's back!
A few last camping shots. Not mailboat'n, but the water is never far away. Fort Casey State Park. The campground is a little congested and busy but has beautiful views. Where else can camp and have the WSF Kennewick slide through your backyard!
No mailboat'n today but out for a short adventure. Madian voyage for the "C-Shanty" So far, we absolutely love the thing.
Love spring mailboat'n. A mixed bag weather wise but many picture opportunities. Probably shot 50 or more pictures, but 4 it is. Mount Baker, steller guys and a couple of many orca shots. Next day at the helm will be 4/24.
Sunny skies for mailboat'n today. Steller buddies, the Paraclete, the shoreline picture shows multiple game-trails crisscrossing the bluff and the WSF Sealth with Mount Baker in the background.
After a few days off, it was a delightful day for mailboat'n. With the clear sunny skies, there were many photo opps. Not always the best pictures, but I try to share the most interesting. A common loon, the Olympics, a steller quartet, and Mount Baker.
Will be back to mailboat'n today, Whoo-hoo! While away, we took delivery of our new custom build FWC Grandby. We ordered it back in November, and a local dealer did the installation yesterday. So far, we are pleased with the build and look forward to it's first adventure.
Last day at the helm for a few days. Been Mailboat'n 5-6 days a week for months, so 4 days off are welcome (not really, I'll be in withdraws...) Rich people and their toys, north corner of Willow Isl, Orcas Island Eastsound and a rhododenron on Blakely Island.
A full boat of heavy freight plus a minus 1.48' tide made for a workout today. Where's the bottom of the ramp? Outbound into an oil painting, seal lounge-a-ramma, and a selfie of me after dinner.
Elsie Mae is back in town!
It was an absolutely spectacular day for mailboat'n. I had gobs of pictures to choose from, but 4 it is. Juvenile steller buddies out for a swim. A rare sea star (starfish), Mount Baker, and a short clip of our elephant seal guest (sound on).
The morning started out a little lumpy. Unlike the S. S. Minnow I did not end up on a deserted desert isle. There were lots of pictures today, but 4 it is.
A pretty uneventful day for mailboat'n. I picked up groceries for someone in the islands before the run. They were pleased as punch to have some food in the house for the weekend. I love helping out my islanders. You get a run of the mill set of scenery pictures today.
Friday mailboat'n. Busy day, but I still got off a few shots. Nap time interruptis, swim lessons, Elsa the elephant seal and the research ship Zephyr. The hull was laid as a bar pilot boat in 1972 (hull # 72-18). Today she is a research for hire vessel. zephyrnw.com
A choppy day for mailboat'n. It was also our local halibut opener. In talking with friends, the fishing was slow and uncomfortable. Pictures: Not sure what was going on in the first 2 pictures, but I think that the goose was brunch. Flight posture and our elephant seal.
A busy day for mailboat'n. A full boat and I was on a time budget. I had a 3:00 WDFW Advisors Meeting. Can the water be any clearer, I'm watching you and the Schooner Zodiac. With her 7,000 SF of sail, the classic windjammer can make over 13 knots. schoonerzodiac.com

@MailboatN I used to never miss a minus tide to explore Puget Sound beaches. Saw all kinds of vibrant marine life. Not so much anymore. That's one of the reasons I enjoy your photos so much. 😊

Nice!

Hello, friends. Gus did well today in the cath lab. It was the shortest visit to the lab we've had and he was extubated immediately afterwards. The rehab of his femoral vein went well. It was an encouragement to see him do so well with the procedure -- given how destabilizing…
