David went up the mast a few days back to install boom lifts for the foresail. Here are a couple pictures he took. The first is looking East at the farmland with the sloughs running through it and a boat anchored at almost each bend, the second view is to the West. In both you can see the rock walls of the levy around the slough. These levies used to be tree covered–which must have been quite lovely–but farmers have taken to using ugly rocks instead. I imagine that 30 years ago visiting the Delta was much prettier than it is today. It also probably provided much more shelter for wildlife and birds.

Each morning we have a lovely sunrise over the water.
