Aurora Tonight

Keep an eye on the northern sky tonight. The sun has been active and the aurora will be active tonight. The prediction is for some auroral light and perhaps some display as far south as Portland OR and the northern Great Lakes. So, if your sky is clear, and you are in the north, look to the northern sky and you might be in for a treat.

Thanks for the heads up Bill! Unfortunately skies are socked in at Powell River. Waiting at Beach Gardens to transit Malaspina Strait. 3 1/2 days now southeast winds 15-25 and higher. Here with ranger 27 Passage Weaver Matt and Linda,(ex two lucky fish cd22 owners). heading south, and home ported here cd25 Meander with Anne and Ron. Several boats ducked in today some continued past and returned. Some nasty to the south. Maybe manana? Had 6 weeks plus of sun so need rain Enjoyed Desolation sound and Area. Best to those with clear skies. Also maybe remnants of Persid shower? George CoolSmile
