I’m taking a wild guess, but I think this could be a rip tide. It looks like the flow of water is going straight out against the waves.

Remember to swim parallel to the beach to escape a rip tide!

My instructor got hired as a Q400 FO at Republic. 

Now I know someone at the airlines and I don’t suppose it is ever too early to start networking in this industry.

I’m flying on the A380 in 6 weeks!

I’ll be adding 3 new types (A380, Avro RJ100, A340-300) and 2 new airlines (Lufthansa, Swiss) to my list of aircraft and airlines flown on this summer.

I didn’t get a window seat on the ZRH-SFO leg, but I did manage to grab a bulkhead seat in the first row of economy.

One of my favorite shots from last week. 
The fog moves so quickly over the hills it looks like water spilling over a ledge.

With a solid undercast ahead, we had turn around over Sausalito to avoid overflying the low ceiling.
After navigating over the cloud free Marin Peninsula, this was as far south as I was willing to venture. As we made a 180, I could see tour boats under the left wingtip disappearing into the marine layer as they made their way towards the Golden Gate Bridge. 
 
From Sausalito, all we could see was Sutro Tower rising above the fog.

In the soup on the ILS 16R at KSEA. 

Ideally I’d like to start my instrument training within the next year. That may wishful thinking though.
