Beautiful weather is here, and with it cold water dangers Every spring, we have these wonderful days (like today into the weekend) where the weather just blossoms into full summer mode - and we are understandably giddy with joy. However, while you're out there enjoying the beach and the riverside (as well you should!), keep in mind that winter conditions still exist when it comes to water and water dangers - it's still dangerously cold in both our rivers and the ocean. So even though the air is intoxicatingly warm, we're still in the Pacfic Northwest. And that means cold water, strong tidal currents, and rip currents in the ocean, year round.

Every spring, we have these wonderful days (like today into the weekend) where the weather just blossoms into full summer mode - and we are understandably giddy with joy.

However, while you're out there enjoying the beach and the riverside (as well you should!), keep in mind that winter conditions still exist when it comes to water and water dangers - it's still dangerously cold in both our rivers and the ocean.

So even though the air is intoxicatingly warm, we're still in the Pacfic Northwest. And that means cold water, strong tidal currents, and rip currents in the ocean, year round.

Passage Throw'm In The Puget Productions 150 years ago, the S.S. Cumberland disappeared in the Pacific Northwest. A lifeboat from the ship with four skeletons inside just mysteriously showed up in Marrow Passage. Reporter Daisy Bonham attempts to solve the mystery and find out what other secrets are lurking just below the surface. Double Share Nathan Lowell | Scribl A Trader's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper: Book 4When he graduates from the Academy at Port Newmar, Ishmael Horatio Wang reports for duty in his first assignment as an officer. When he gets to his new ship, he finds things are not exactly the way he'd learned in school. The coffee tastes like used engine oil, the ship has no heart, and the nearest decent tailor is two quadrants away. What's a new Third Mate to do? Will he be able to trust Billy? Spacehounds of IPC by E. E. Smith (1890 - 1965) LibriVox When the Inter-Planetary Corporation's (IPC) crack liner “IPV Arcturus” took off on a routine flight to Mars, it turned out to be the beginning of a unexpected and long voyage. There had been too many reports of errors in ship's flight positions from the Check Stations and brilliant physicist Dr. Percival (“Steve”) Stevens is aboard the Arcturus on a fact-finding mission to find out what's really happening, and hopefully save the honor of the brave pilots of the space-liner Arcturus from the desk-jockeys' in the Check Stations implications of imprecision - the nastiest insult you could cast at a ships pilot. He and the pilots are right, it was the Check Stations that were out of position, not the ships. But that's cold consolation because before the Arcturus reaches Mars it's attacked by a small, mysterious, globe shaped spaceship. (Summary from Wikipedia) Crossing Wires S.H. Cooper A sci-fi comedy that follows an investigative reporter bot and her cat-like companion while they interview obsolete and malfunctioning AI on board a garbage ship hurtling toward the sun.
