Ladies morning
Marlene, Ellen, Lainee, and Michelle, were hoping to see a bit of everything and also catch a salmon.
We changed location and en route a humpback whale breached near to us. Then , turning into a narrow channel , we met a pod of Orcas coming the other way. It is proper, and legally required, to give the whales a wide distance. We paced them in parallel for a little while, and then turned off the motor. Some of the family came nearer as they passed by us. What a treat. Oh, and at other times in the morning an eagle flew overhead, and a sea lion that came by and rolled with an eye on us. Thanks for bringing your good luck , ladies.

Filling in
I thought I had a day off, but Gary's boat had a glitch and I picked up his guests. Filling in for Coastal Island Fishing Adventures. This one is a lesson in the metric system, 100 cm length is exactly one metre, or 39.37 inches.

smokey haze
There is a haze in the sky from the many distant forest fires in the interior . Sunrise was beautiful and spooky. View over Cortes Island.
Julia brings dinner
This family was visiting friends and their local hosts really hoped they would bring back fresh fish for dinner. Julia and brother Will handled the rods and mother Liz enjoyed pitching in to take the wheel . We saw a bit of the back-country, and Julia brought in the salmon big enough to feed everyone. Well done !

Eric and Sharon afternoon
Eric called me at nearly the last moment . There is some luck in fishing, and the first lucky thing was that the scheduled party had cancelled for that day. We got out for the afternoon.
Eric and Sharon, from Florida, were near the end of of their BC vacation in their RV. Barbeque salmon dinner tonight !
