Mount Baker Steam before the Rain

 Before the latest weather front moved in I had a short notice/time critical job on Orcas Island. This time of year I can push back departure to the 7:30 AM boat instead of the 5:30 AM boat since it is still dark when the 5:30 boat arrives on Orcas. The ferry schedule has been tweaked a bit due to recent staff shortages related to COVID. 

Waiting at the dock I had a nice view of the early light and Mount Baker. With frosty temperatures and moist air a pretty good steam plume was emitting from Sherman Crater on the south side of the mountain.
