It’s foggy this morning when pull the anchor, headed for Chapple Inlet. Al assures me he has at least a half mile of visibility with his new “fog” glasses. I’m just hoping the fog won’t get any worse before we get there. Luckily, we only have about 14 miles to go.
The fog lifted after about an hour, and by the time we reached Chapple, we had good visibility. We decided to anchor at the bitter end, since a big storm is supposed to arrive tonight. There are no other boats in the inlet.
I managed to get a paddle in, but the wind picked up quite a bit, so I didn’t get too far from the boat.
This Kingfisher led me on a merry chase before I managed to get this shot.
This little Murrelet stopped fishing long enough to pose for me.
And, I managed to get a shot of this Loon.
Just before I got back to the boat, I saw this Yellowlegs and a Seagull sharing a rock.
On another little islet, I spotted this American Robin in deep shade.
The wind finally picked up to about 15 knots, with gusts over 20 knots, so I headed back to the boat, just in case that storm arrived early.
