We missed most of the wave action due to being at the Miss San Pedro Pageant ............ but the boat-ride home at 11:30 pm was pretty interesting. As we traveled the SP river we could see high water everywhere. Seagrass way up on the beaches today ............... this morning the seas are (again) dead calm, skies are clear and it's really quite beautiful.

Wish we could send such a lovely day to Louisiana .......... the prospects for the good people there are dire. I did notice on a video stream from NO that the assisted evacuations (busses,trains etc) are allowing people to bring their pets. Mountains of animal carriers were sitting at evacuation sites. This move will save more than animals - it will save the people who love them and would not evacuate without them - and will give those under stress an emotional anchor at a terifying time. Kudos to the planners who made this decision.
