Halp! I needed to download a new version of the Firefox browser just to view this post, after it crashed Safari seven times, then it crashed that, then I could only access the post through AOL! The pictures are gigantic! Everything goes off the screen!

Is scaling photos out of the question?

What are you, some kind of a wimp? You probably needed the new Firefox browser anyway. And I needed a 48" monitor anyway. Brad has simply forced us to "see the big picture" and "push the envelope" and proven that "a bird in the hand is worth two birds being seen" (or words to that effect).

Just be happy that you don't live someplace where you've got to drink freakin' negociant Burgundy to keep you warm at a picnic.

Wow. That looks like a dream date.

What kind of cracker dip goes with Morey St. Denis?

And where is this? No. Cal.? Maine? Norway?

I'm flattered. Those are nice photos.
 
That settles it. When I'm out in Seattle again in April, I'm gonna make some overtures about the long term to the Hutch people.

What is the Morey, BTW?
 
Looks like Skagit County WA, maybe Padilla Bay, with the Olympic Mountains in the far background.

VLM, good oysters and Dungeness crab come from those waters.
Not too far a drive to good snowboarding. Well, so so this year, all the winter storms went south to California.
 
We were at the southwest corner of Lopez Island in the San Juans - close enough to Canada to have been part of a border dispute with England in the 1850s. We are by a set of rocks called Shark Reef. I think the name is mostly romantic, since I doubt any sharks are nearby (we do have Thrasher Sharks but they are deep water).

VLM, we would welcome you. It is a good place.

Joel, no murrelets, unfortunately. Rhino Auklets, Pelagic Cormorants, a couple of baldies, Black Oystercatchers, White Winger Scoters, but actually fairly quiet.

The MSD was a 1990 Moillard Monts Luisants. It was quite good, actually, with typicaly Morey density, and a surprisingly bitter edge, that was not too much. Had a structure more akin to an 89.

We didn't catch anything, but a fun event occured when I tossed the cork into the water, which of course a glaucous winged gull immediately retrieved. He flew over to the rocks and dropped it there, non-plussed by its non food nature. It seemed auspicious for our cork to have gotten over there, where we could view it through the scope - a bit of a crack up.
