Hot September
100 degrees, dead calm, floating in the middle of Case Inlet. Reading in the shade...the the tide turned and so did the boat...and there went our shade! So Cliff hopped onto the swim platform and with a dinghy paddle, turned the boat back 'round so we had our shade! |

Bottlenose Dolphin
Two Dolphin from down south decided to visit north during the summer of 2003. They hung around Case Inlet greeting and playing with boats. They spent a good 20 minutes with Spirit before looking for something else to do. September 2003 |

Broken nose
This dolphin had a broken upper bill that is plainly seen in this photo. It didn't seem to stop him from playing and jumping around. And he was nice and fat so he was obviously eating well. |

Bye-bye Dolphins!
One last close by the bow blow and they left us. |

September Sunset
Cutts Island, Carr Inlet. During the day this is a very noisy mooring ground as the local teenagers all descend on the little island with their skiboats and beer...but when the sun goes down, it becomes so peaceful. |

Perfectly Balanced
Look closely at this photo...look at the flag and the mooring bouy. We were balanced between the wind and current, they were both at the same speed. IIllahee, September 2003 |
