Dave lands the big one



July 13 Awoke to another drizzly day so Ann and I took the skiff to the marine info centre to use internet while Dave and Karolina moved the sailboat to the outer islands where we saw all the eagles for better luck at fishing.  The marine centre was grand central station with kayakers and boaters checking in. The host of the info centre was away so everyone thought Anne anworked there and told us all their tales.    Inside  the centre was a door that had been retrieved from the old part of the building  that tourists had signed as far back as 1947. There were comments such as ‘watch for wolves on the north beach after 7pm’.       
Lingcod
When we returned to the Irish Rose Dave decided to go out fishing but couldn’t get a volunteer to accompany him due to compromising weather. Karolina got deposited on an outside beach dressed head to toe in rain gear while Dave braved the elements to go fishing solo. When he got back a few hours later I asked if he had any luck and he said just a rock fish and then held up a King salmon on the gaff hook.  I was shrieking with excitement cause it was huge.  According to the fish chart by the girth of 33 in and length of 35 in the weight was approx. 51lbs. Hooray fresh salmon for

days. In fact he got a lingcod first so we have 2 of my favorite fish.  He took the king over to beach to fetch a saturated Norwegian who is an expert filleter and once again she did a stand up job. Anne made baggies of 4-5 steaks each, froze some and kept a few out for the first 2 days.
