Sun trying to break through the haze on the South beach. This was about as bright as it got, around 11:30 AM. From here the haze only got thicker to the point is seemed like a cloudy day.

Heading back home after some WOT speed runs in Guemes Channel to test the new prop. After reading some Merc performance reports decided to try a 16Dx13" instead of the 15x15, it brought me from the low-mid RPM range to the high end of the RPM range and only a couple mph top end loss (28 mph). On last trip I noticed the boat had gained a lot of weight over the first 2 years and the waterline was never visible (I emptied about 200 lbs of unused stuff after that trip too). I may actually go back to the 15x15 for normal loads because I really like cruising around 3000 rpm.
Finally decided to pull anchor and head out around 1 PM, just as a Grand Banks and a Glasply went in and grabbed my spot.

Dot Island and Hat Island
South cove of Saddlebag island. Guemes Island in background.
Probably could have anchored in even a little closer, but this was about 5.5 feet at low tide.
