The Foggiest Yet!

We were driving home this evening after some errands and the fog was really quite spectacular. In the top photo we're on the Rim Road Bridge, entering a ghostly Machiasport. The photo on the bottom right is Sea Smoke and fog on the Machias River in Machias. 


So what is sea smoke? It's essentially fog above the water. In order for this thick sea smoke to occur, you need cold air above relatively warm water. When wind mixes that cool air with the warm air immediately above the water moisture condenses into fog, or sea smoke.


In the extra you can see fresh clams dug just below our bluff from the Machiasport mud flats at low tide by a friend of our neighbor above us on Trafton's Hill. She happens to live in the house that formally belonged to my grandmother Nora's family when they moved from Lubec to Machiasport(that's how my grandparents met). We have the most excellent neighbors! Steamers tomorrow!

For the Record,
This day came in sunny and perfect, but the fog rolled in with the full tide in the afternoon.

All hands happy
