<p class=MsoNormal>Please find the latest observations on current surface
conditions in Puget Sound from October 19 (North Puget Sound) and October 20
(Central Puget Sound). The flights were conducted by my colleagues Julia Boss
and Mya Keyzers. There is a large bloom in Sinclair Inlet<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We normally use our routine commute flight between Kenmore
Airbase and Olympia to document current marine water conditions by camera.
However, October has been challenging due to fog. We therefore chose
alternative routes and report on observations that we made while en route
between core sampling station. We hope that the next month will be more
predictable.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Observations are limited to algae blooms:<o:p></o:p></p>
