I Started the Summer with fishing at Sherringham Pt with my Good friend John (Kiwi) Boyles. John is on His 31st Summer in a row, no winters. In New Zealand for their summer and then back up here for ours.
Estansia Fraumeni
Then Madeline and I take off on the Scania Queen for Haida Gwaii
Madeline can Fish too
Landfall in Haida Gwai after a 24 hour crossing with 30 Knots of Norwest.
And a large load of Supplies, including 8 drums of Fuel for Goetz and Susan in Rose Harbour. Madeline stayed on to cook for Susan.
And Finally to my place on North Beach
Serious Salmon in Haida Gwaii
My Friend Laurie McBride arrives on the Islands and His First 2013 Haida Gwaii Salmon is a Real Horse
Laurie’s Fish weight was 46 1/2 pounds
The ancient Village of Yaan, a favourite place of mine
When we are living at North Beach Madeline works for Wendy in Her Famous “Off the Grid” Bakery, Moon over Niakoon. All Natural food, mostly vegetarian, Pizza, Soup, enchilada’s, Awesome Bread and Famous Cinnamon Buns. People come from all over the Islands for Coffee and one of Wendy’s Cinnamon Buns
The Schwager’s arrived and Rob and I got to fish together again. I Love to fish with this Guy, we had not connected tin at least 5 or 6 years
We went into a bay and tied up with Trevor and Marty, had lunch and cleaned our fish. As I threw the heads over Seals arrived and we were able to watch them swimming under the boats and grabbing the heads. At one point we saw a seal fighting a head away from a Dogfish Shark
John and Young Son Alec arrived and caught some beautiful Springs and Alec put the old 30-30 to work and we have Venison.
