The smoke is even worse today.  There doesn’t seem to be an end in sight for these fires.  We spent the day doing chores and getting the boat ready for Russ’ arrival.  

The Safeway store is just a block from the marina, making provisioning easy.  I found everything I needed and managed to get it all back to the boat using my little cart.  However, the cart was stressed to the max.

The next morning, I got up early and went looking for photo ops.  

There just wasn’t much to photograph.  Visibility is bad, due to the fires, which makes everything ugly.

Russ left Lake California early this morning and had a horrible drive through the fires in Oregon and Washington.  The smoke was so bad at times that he could only see a half mile ahead.  But, he’s tough, and made it to the marina by 1600 hrs.  

The sunset this evening was gorgeous.
