Days Last Rays...

The weather has turned to typical mountain summer: cool crisp mornings with generally calm water. As it warms up, the wind comes up. Sunny sky during the day with very comfortable temps in the low 70s. The chance of an afternoon thunderstorm always looms, as this mountain range is big enough to create its own weather system. Chop on the water during the afternoons, then generally laying down towards the end of the day. As always, Mother Nature is in charge and she can change her mind at any time.

Four evenings a week, we do a sunset cruise (alternating with the dinner cruises on the other nights). Sunset is one of the toughest for the captains because we spend much of our time facing into that west sun. While the morning cruises are my personal favorites, due to the light coming from the east lighting the mountains, as the sun's rays come across the peaks towards the end of the day can also be very pretty...


Another work week behind us after last night's sunset cruise and looking forward to some beautiful weather for our days off.
