We spent the day assisting a bridal party prepare for their wedding day. The Inn refrigerator was full of bouquets and corsages and champagne. The bride, bridemaids and her family took photos both outside and inside before leaving for the ceremony. With everybody all smiles, it was a joyous morning and afternoon. Following the ceremony, the newly married couple honeymoons at the Captain's Inn.

The Silver Moon
By the light of the Silvery Moon. We have always highlighted that the inn can be a great place for sunset. However, we have not focused on the moon as much as we should have. The Fall Harvest Moonrise and moonset can be very wonderful. A full moon reflecting over the water as it sets creates an awe all of its own, be it in the evening or as you watch from bed just before dawn. Perfect for winter romance.

Fall Migration
The fall migration of birds is well underway with thousands of birds of many varieties using our wetlands. One of my favorites are the "peeps". These are the small tiny birds that madly feed on small worms and crusteans of our shore. They always seem to be in large groups and move in unison. Most are least sandpipers and western sandpipers but many others are mixed in. This season is a favorite time to take trips on Elkhorn Slough Safari boat tours, for the birds and for the seals, sea lions, and sea otters.
