12 JUNE, 2017 - M/V SO...FEA DECK LOG - BAD DAY TO BE A MUSSEL

88 degrees (F), no wind!  yuk, it was one of our four total days a year of heat wave...  3 more to go (August ?).

Awakened to find black mussel shells all up and down the A Dock (20 or so), a first time 2019 happening, overnight I heard chirping 0100-on, and can now assume the Otter pups are back, they love mussels, and unraveling my dock lines, it looks like at 0400 they triggered the security light (but no siren).

Cannot really get a good photo to share,  


What a fabulous way to spend retirement, the (mostly birds) wildlife of seals and otter, and people watching make this a very special place, this past weeks tourist interface (China and Australia) was great!! and our US Harbors work is having an impact.

Fun times in Florence.
