An interesting morning...

We had a boat full of photographers... well, enthusiastic amateurs, not professionals. The marina was fogged in when we were ready to depart (they were late getting there, and we came in early to accommodate them)... and they were disappointed. I assured them the fog would lift as soon as we got out a ways. I finally had to pull out "the photographer card"... I am a Master of Photography, Photographic Craftsman, Certified Professional Photographer, and an Internationally Affiliated Juror with the Professional Photographers of America. That got their attention.

As we came out of Colter Bay, the fog lifted like a veil... their was a gasp from the cabin as the beautiful Tetons came into view. Since this group had scheduled the whole boat, I didn't run the "usual" route... and instead did a lot of 360s and sweeping S-turns to give them all great views of the mountains. I pointed out the beautiful views back to the east with the sun just above the low lying clouds. It was a pretty impressive sight, and having the photographic background, I put the boat in just the right position to give them great angles.

It was one very happy group when I got them back to the dock.

It turned out to be an absolutely spectacular day here in the Tetons. After the fog this morning, it was clear with light and variable wind. Temps in the 70s. It doesn't get much better than this.

One week of marina operations to go, then a few days to close it all down.
