MISTY EAGLE
Category: Fog
ADVECTION FOG
I’ve noticed this localized geographic phenomenon before. Notice the mist & where it lays.I’ve seen the same phenomenon occur in the same spot many times. The mist is over a very large area.
Warm air is coming off of the ocean full of moisture.This warm moist air meets the cold mountains,the air chills,dew point is reached & fog happens.The contour of the mountain must focus the air mass. I’d like to see some time lapse.I bet it would move like water.
btw…..thats Ethel singing a song.

FOG MOVING INTO TOFINO INLET
When the fog begins to move into Tofino’s harbour,I know it’ll eventually cover everything! Except Fortune Channel & Tofino Inlet!
Except tonight, you can see the fog trying to push further down Tofino inlet!
Fortune was clear as always however. I find the mountains on Meares island acts as a fence or barrier for the fog. They seems to contain the fog & the best it can do is pour alittle over the mountains & send a few fog tongues wagging down to the waters edge!
THE “ADESSO” & THE “MsChievous” AT ANCHOR
When I headed out tonight,these guys were not here in this spot.
So I’m assuming they are together? I suspect they are friends traveling together & I’ll continue to hazard a second guess that they are both from the eastern coast of the States?
FOG PADDLE………………….NOT “DOG PADDLE”!
These people were coming in from a evening paddle. I thought the dog on the back was cute! Than a friend who kayaks (I do not) noticed that he’s got the hatch off for the dog to sit in! If he rolls,it’ll fill up very quickly!
Conditions were very calm thankfully!

CANADA DAY FOG!
We had fog in the morning,but sunshine in the afternoon. Just after I got out,the fog began to move into the harbour & that beautiful sunshine went south!
I headed further east to get away from that fog Vail.
I went up into Fortune Channel & sure enough…….the light was fantastic! I began to look for bears but after awhile realized there wasn’t a single one out & about! Also the tide was too high! Bears prefer the low tides,so they can overturn the rocks for those juicy crabs!.
I guess the bears were having a party in the forest somewhere because of it being “Canada Day”,cause there weren’t any of them out & about!
The fog,tide & the bears were all conspiring against me tonight! I basically came up “snake eyes” tonight folks!
I went up into Gunner Inlet as a last ditch effort for finding a bruin? Not a chance lance! Nobody home in Gunner either!
So I simply shut the motor off,pulled it out of the water(backrest) & sat listening to all the birds off in the forest! I always take a treat with me & this was a perfect moment to enjoy it! I just drifted softly & quietly. I love listening to the evening forest chatter of all the different birds!
You can see in this shot how the fog was spilling over into the inlet. Meares island holds the fog at bay & stops it from filling up Fortune Channel.
Sorry folks,but I didn’t bring home the bacon tonight. Maybe tomorrow night?
FOG MOVING IN!
A fog tongue was lapping into the harbour when I was heading out. I knew that by the time I came back into the harbour,the fog would be sitting firmly………..& it was.
FOG ROLLING IN
This is Creative Salmon’s “Baxter islet” fish farm. You can see the fog has piled up so much on the outside that it is spilling over the ridge like water into Tofino Inlet!
MAGGIE
You can see how much the fog had moved into Lemmens Inlet & you can also just see the tops of the mountains in Strathcona Park.
THE “FOG”!
This happens many times in Tofino during the summer. It gets hot & than the fog moves into the harbour. This is a so called “fog tongue” lapping into the harbour.
Whenever I see it rolling in,I try to stay further east & get away from it! The fog not only snuffs the light for me & but makes it uncomfortably cold!
ROMEO & THE FOG
While I was heading westward toward town in glorious sunshine,I could see Fog had moved into the harbour! RATS! I hate when that happens! You can see why from the shots. No light basically means no shots really!
I took a few token shots & called it a day!
ROMEO & THE FOG
You can see how badly the light went south! Once that Fog moves in,the whole story changes!! It basically stops the evening shoot dead in it’s tracks right there!
It was sweet to see both Romeo & Juliette flying out to greet me! It brought a smile to my face,even if the light was to poor to take any shots!
I took a few of Romeo & that was it!
POLE SITTING
Tofino gets all it’s fresh water from Meares Island. There is a pipe laid down on the ocean floor going from Sharp creek to Tofino.
This pole has a shut off valve for water line repairs. Thats what that small box is for.
It appears the Meares Island Eagles (south end) like this pole for perching.
HARBOUR FOG
Now you know why I took shots of Romeo so early tonight! I knew the fog was going to come into the harbour!
Fortune Channel was in complete sunshine & always is!
