We were lucky enough to see two subs this week as they passed us in the Straits of Juan de Fuca.
The first was a sub going out to sea with two menacing looking armored escorts. The escorts were so close, it was hard to see the sub in between. They were accompanied by two more Coast Guard boats and a fast pursuit boat. They made an impressive showing.
The other was a sub coming in to the sub base at Bangor with just two Coast Guard boats as escorts. We were able to see the whole sub as it went by.
We had great weather all week. A couple of HOT days when we enjoyed the sunshine. A breeze came up almost every night. Lovely sunrises and sunsets. It was clear enough to see the Olympic Mountains and Mt Baker most of the week.
As usual, we had swallow nests and baby birds. This time there were three nests on the station and they all flew the coop during our week. Have a good life babies!
