Lori skiing on less than perfect glass. Well, if you wait for the glass you could be waiting a long time!
We took the short cruise down to Coon Island in Lil' Ambition and I stopped by my favorite picnic spot on the trail.
Sunrise.
That's one cool cat!
Just a couple of random paddleboarders. That's all.
The Moon.
Sunrise. Sadly the sun is now moving southward. Damn, I hate the winter!
Lori is stunning, don't you think?
Sunrise.
Ski Princess Lori again. It's great having her back!
Ski Princess Lori and her students came by for a visit. Such nice people!
Lori cutting hard this morning.

Ski Princess Lori carving up the glass like a pro. Wait, she is a pro!
Lori is back again.
Here she is giving us a wave as she goes by.
A pirate ship complete with a cannon.
Our neighbors Tom and Rainy headed for the Blues Festival in downtown Portland.
The pirate ship is back. This time they blew off their cannon a few minutes after they went by.
Ski Princess Lori doing some magnificent work on the water.
Nice pictures of Ski Princess Lori.
Sunrise.
Another nice picture of Lori.
Lori the next day. She's not proud of this picture, she says it's bad form, but seeing her fly through the air is pretty cool!
A floatplane came cruising by and kept on going down the channel, showing off his plane to everyone who lives on the river.
Finally the floatplane takes to the sky.

Lori is back again. I love catching her in the sunrise.
This isn't Lori, but one of Lori's students. I like the sillouette on the spray.
A Bald Eagle flew past our front deck, grabbed a fish right out of the water and then landed on a piling across the channel.
The moon.
Sunrise.
Ski Princess Lori, et al out preparing for another ski run.

Nice pink sunrise.
A floating home being pushed up river. Its track on AIS showed that it came from Scappoose Bay and was taken all the way up to Swan Island.
A Halloween Ship has been coming out for the last few nights. Looks like a new tradition in the making.
To make things spookier, here is a good look at the Moon.
A Bald Eagle found a snack on the beach across the channel.
Mount Hood casting a shadow on the clouds during sunrise Beautiful.
The little floating home I've been keeping an eye on.
Sunrise, in two stages.
The full Moon one month later. Beautiful.

It seems like the floating home I've been watching is pretty much done.
Our first Christmas Ship of the season. Probably just out trying out his lights.
A flock of Cormorants landed in front of our house, but they don't like humans much, so they scattered as soon as they say me on the front deck with my camera.
As it is nearly winter, it's not a bad idea to remember how we started this adventure. In the summer of 2008, we were nearly in heaven. This is our video.
Our neighbor Alan and his double jointed rowboat.
A lone member of the Banana Bunch out riding her bike all alone.
Toni B and her gravel barge.
Toni B name, however, on another marking she is known as Cougar. One in the same, so that does that mean that Toni B is a cougar?
Claire B came by a little while later. Finally some gravel is coming our way.
Side tow is the way to go. Way more stable than pulling.
Trimaran Transporter houseboat we named Great Ambition.
