I had to work some of the days that she was in town, and we had literally torrential rains over the weekend, recording 7.5" on Saturday and Sunday, with accompanying winds, so we could not go out then.
So we ended up with only one day and an overnight to get our trip in.
But at least the rains had stopped and the sun had emerged.
We took off on Thursday morning and started trolling for salmon.
We did pretty well and the weather was stunningly beautiful.
We saw this eagle's nest with an immature eagle in it while we were trolling.
We ran to the Marguerite Bay dock in Traitors Cove, arriving just after the float planes had left for the day. This time of year they ferry tourists in from town and run them up to the bear and fish viewing platform that is about a mile up the road.
Here is Karen's catch for the day. 3 nice fat Silvers, 2 nice fat Pinks, and 1 weenie little Pink.
We filleted the fish, with Karen actually doing one of them entirely on her own. Way to go Karen!
Here is Faraway at the dock, and the Emerald Star that was there when we arrived. There was a very nice couple on board who said they were from California, but the boat was registered in Anacortes. We gave them a fillet of silver salmon, for which they seemed very appreciative.
In the morning we just had time to have breakfast and run to town, arriving about noon.
Karen had to be on the airport ferry at about 2 PM, so we were cutting it close.
