It is the contrail of a airliner at altitude moving <>Btoward the camera, at an angle of about 30 degrees off center to the right. Retired TRANSPAC airline pilots and USAF types said it was a rather common sight to see as they are climbing out over water on a westerly heading at sunset.

It's heading towards the camera, but at the same time heading west? Wouldn't the photographer have to be out at sea then?

While that's possible I don't know if it's the only option. I'm just guessing here, but the photographer could be in a large bay looking east.

No, they mean the observers are heading west, opposite of the plane's flight path.
