DAY 51 & 52. As many already know, yesterday was my birthday. As planned, Jane & I set up camp at the Bird Creek Campground in the Chugach State Park on the Turnagain Arm in anticipation of witnessing and photographing the spectacle of the largest Bore Tide in the world. This astronomical tidal phenomenon is greatly enhanced in the days immediately before and after the Full Moon. This year, my birthday fell on the eve of the August Super Blue Moon here just south of Anchorage Alaska.
The bore tide is a spectacular sight, a wave up to 10 feet high, that thunders into Turnagain Arm just south of Anchorage in the right tide conditions.
Alaska’s most famous bore tide occurs in Turnagain Arm, just outside Anchorage. It builds up to 6 – 10 feet tall and can reach speeds of 10 to 15 miles per hour. It takes not just a low tide but also about a 27-foot tidal differential (between high and low tide) for a bore to form in Turnagain Arm.
Well, this “Bore Tide” is somewhat predictable, but not 100%.
Yesterday, my birthday, the tidal charts recommended to be at an optimum viewing location 30 minutes before the predicted spectacle, plus give use enough time to anticipate a large volume of spectators and associated traffic.
We were where we intended to be and anxiously waited - and waited - and waited and returned to camp empty handed.
We tried again today and voila—success!!
Experienced surfers entered the freezing cold waters of the Turnagain Arm and awaited the incoming “Bore Tide”. The air temperature was approximately 57 degrees and the winds out of the West gusted way over 45 MPH, practically knocking us over as we set up the camera on a sturdy heavy trio-pod.
Approximately 20 minutes later than expected, the waters began ripping and churning as the Bore Tide raced across the 20 some odd mile Turnagain Arm Fjord at remarkable speed up to 15 MPH.
We watched the spectacle from two locations approximately 1 1/2 miles apart, racing from one to the other to catch the Bore Tide with its surfers as they rode the strange wave over a mile!
It was a spectacle you have to see to appreciate.
After the the tide continued to the end of the Turnagain Arm, as the surfers, red faced from the freezing water, climbed ashore to get dried off and warmed up, ready to face the Bore Tide again, hopefully tomorrow!

Amidst some heavy cloud and some fog cover, Space X successfully launched the Falcon 9 Rocket with booster B1078.8 on its eight flight into space for the Starlink 6-46 mission hoisting another 23 Starlink V2 satellites into low Earth orbit. After a 2 hour delay, Falcon launched at 7:42 EDST from CCSFS SLC-40.
This is the eighth flight for this first stage booster which previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER, USSF-124, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage successfully landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

We were hoping for a sunset launch Saturday night but it wasn’t to be. After 3 postponements, finally launch the Falcon 9 with booster B1060.19 on its 19th flight to pace an additional 23 Starlink v2 Satellites into . The 6-42 mission launched from at 11:09 PM EDST. The booster landed 8 minutes later on the drone vessel . Booster is the 4th Block 5 booster to launch 19 times . After the first postponement for 8:29 PM, it was hoped to get some spectacular photos of the southbound Falcon 9 flying over the , but those hopes were shattered with another postponement, and by the time Falcon Launched at 11:09 PM, the moon was too high to capture such a shot.

Well, we lost an hour overnight. Adjusted the clock. Time is indeed fleeting! Working on our itinerary for our Alaska 2.0 trip. This photo was shot Buck Canyon Overlook, at the tail end of our 2022 trip. We stopped off to hike in Canyonlands National Park. It was Sept 1 2022, bright sunny day, and 106 degrees--OUCH! We suspended the trip and headed home. Definitely going back to see the Utah Mighty 5 on our way back from Alaska again - but this time its will be in late September when hopefully its a bit cooler! Boy--what a view!!!!!

After a long afternoon visiting Jetty Park @ Cape Canaveral to se the Blue Origin New Glenn Rocket, Jane Cosgriff & I came home to Croton Park in Melbourne and were treated to see a Spoonbill in Full Mating Plumage, resting on the banks of our community's retention pond. At one point, the bird appears to be looking at its reflection in the pond. This was the first time in a decade that I saw a Spoonbill at this location. A treat indeed for this photographer!
