We went to South Lopez on the opener and got our 2 limits.

Going back up with my wife on our boat and friends on their boat this Friday and Saturday. First night on the boat for Kim, my wife. Anchoring overnight in Aleck Bay. Stop by and say hi if in the area.

Love shrimping the San Juans, with weather forecast this weekend to be great, it's a real treat.

See some of you at FHGT!

Well I headed out on Wednesday with my new friend Don. Don just bought the old My Heaven from Portland. he and his wife are kayakers and have never ran a power boat before so he tagged along to learn how. Spent a bit of time making passes at the dock for jetty island learnig how to dock. Don seemed to pick it up really fast.

We only got 60 shrimp or so but had a good day on the water going over what he needs to know to run his boat. Friday Susan and i are going to meet Don and his wife at Washington park with their boat and do a few hours of instruction. I know the blind leading the unknowing. Should be fun though.

last night warrens dog whined like he needed out. My dog uses the dog door but warrens dog is not use to it and a little scared of it.
so I get up at o300 in the morning and walk into the living room to let him out. while I do that the dam dog gets in to my bed.

Better hurry and get well, while you still have a dog to come back to Wink

I picked up a good recipe for dog in the philippines while I was there and susan is not always watching me. Wink

So, are you going to go down to the hospital, and if Warren can't go, just take some random ambulatory patient for the extra 80 shrimp? Laughing

well, we had another productive day on Wed.. we only had three on the boat but it took three sets to fill out three limits. it was a nice morning but as the morning went along it got rather snotty out. the last pot pulled was a rough one, the weather turned on us. we were still off the water by 11:30 and had the boat washed and flushed by 12:00 noon.

We got our two limits, plus a little for lunch that day, and still passed half a limit to some friends out there.

Saturday we'll run over to Port Ludlow area and see what's at the mouth of Hood Canal since 8, 9, and 10 are closed. If anyone wants to join me, I'm leaving Everett Naval Station about 0700.
