Mother's Day Breeze

Grab your mom (and a strong coffee) — we're looking at 63 degrees of pure Pacific gold today. The ferry alerts are doing their usual thing (which is to say, multiply like rabbits), but the weather gods have smiled upon us: zero precipitation, gentle winds, and golden hour doesn't kick in until 7:53pm, so you've got all day to hit the Yacht Club Opening Day Parade, catch some Salmonberry Spring Festival vibes, and maybe squeeze in a volleyball tournament if you're feeling spicy. Pro tip: plan your happy hour strategically around those ferry disruptions — might as well make lemonade (or a cocktail) out of that particular lemon.
