Back on the US side now and the weather has improved. Cloudless skies and mid 70s...and the salmon are running. In fact, the salmon are on the surface, followed by the dolphins, line fisherman and many seiners. We'll come back to that shortly. After clearing Customs at Roche Harbor, we opted for a night at the dock and a chance to top off provisions for the remaining days of the trip. Roche, as always, is picturesque and of course the sunset "colors" ceremony is a unique way to cap off the day. A few random bleating boat horns acknowledged the lowering of the last flag, a meager sound off compared to midsummer raucous blaring, hooting and hollering. As if a few remaining boaters are gradually losing their grip on this year's season.
