Drifter

These photos are from BigWaveDave's Willows Beach webcam from Thursday, showing our foggy day putter. The site remembers the last week's images.

 

Andrew, Godfrey and I motored out close to Cattle Point, then sat around and jawed while the current took us part way back to the marina. We could see eelgrass and crabs on the bottom, some 10' to 16' below us. 

The fog was offshore, but looked like it could close in any moment. No wind for sailing, anyway.

 Andrew said that the water was clear because there had been no rain or strong wind recently to stir things up.

When we backed out of the slip at the marina the boat was skewing sharply one way and then another as I frantically tried to correct with both the motor and the rudder. The boards weren't in, so that may have made a difference, and I think that having three guys in the cockpit probably had a lot to do with it as well.
