July 26 & 27, 2014 – Back to
Shearwater
(NB – on our previous
stop in Shearwater, the engine hit 1000
hours !! Notable Milestone ….)
We have hit our most
northerly point of this trip at Rescue Bay and now we make our way back south.
It is looking
brighter to the south (she says optimistically ….)
On our trip back to
Shearwater, we (again) assisted a vessel in distress …. A skiff with a broken
down engine and a dead radio battery. ( I’m sure they were also out of duct
tape as they had used most of their tape on the leg of their engine !!! Hmmmm …. )
We towed them safely
into Bella Bella then headed across the bay into Shearwater.
Dad treated us to a GREAT dinner at the restaurant on Saturday nite ....
A Sunday morning of
successful fishing ... caught 2 .... lost 2 .... !!!
Sunday after lunch,
Dad headed off on the ferry to Bella Bella to catch his flight. We have had a GREAT time with him on board …
fishing .... eating ....drinking martini’s ..... watching movies... visiting ... R&R !!!
He has been a FUN addition
to THE CREW and we've loved having him aboard !!!
We have enjoyed Shearwater ... LOTS of great people to meet and chat with ... our own family of eagles ... beautiful surroundings .... good provisioning !!!
A painting Craig Widsten (Shearwater's owner) had commissioned to be painted on the side of one of the buildings .... a mural of the many people who played a part in the area's history.
The key to the mural ....
We woke up early Monday morning to THICK fog ...
but it may clear so we can fish this morning before heading off ....
Well ... didn't get fishing, but decided to pull out and move on while the sun is shining !!
BUT .... look what I caught ... And I didn't even have to leave the dock !!
A very kind gentleman shared his bounty with us.
We will be enjoying a salmon dinner tonite !!!
You look very happy with your catch, Kim!
ReplyDeleteI cut the salmon in roughly half and froze one half. We bbq'd the remaining half and it was some of THE TASTIEST salmon we've ever eaten ... gorgeous.
