I wonder if this will work . . . . . .



That works now that I cut the width in half!

Hazy BC Sunsets


Smoke from interior forest fires blending with normal ocean haze made for an unusual sunset at the Cowichan Bay Regatta margarita party and steak dinner on the beach. The sun actually turned red-violet but the camera didn't capture the color.



Our last night in B. C. we witnessed a glorious sunset in heavy haze that turned the sun an intense orange that reflected onto the water like molten gold. As it dropped closer to the horizon it just disappeared into the mist.

Around 3 am lightning lit up the sky followed by heavy rain that washed the dirt from our boat. We were looking good when we landed at the US customs dock in Friday Harbor the next day. Three limes got confiscated, but no worries, we were out of tequila anyway.
