July 23 and 24, 2024 - Three unnamed bays in a day!
Second day in our unnamed bay didn't start out so well. Generator quit working, first a change of impeller, ran for a little while, then it stopped again, "I found the problem" says Mike, a collapsed hose, replaces that - meanwhile, Betty is outside with her fresh bucket of water washing windows. She spots a trailing bunch of bull kelp trailing behind the boat. Gets out the pike pole and attempts to unhook it from the bottom of the boat. That didn't work, it was firmly hung up on something, and then an "Aha" moment, the bull kelp is randomly sticking to the water intake, thereby stopping the waterflow into the generator. Run with my theory to Mike. We decide we can't get the kelp off without moving, so we move about 1/2 mile away to another unnamed bay. Generator works perfectly!
Sitting, rusticating in the rain, I look at my new acquisition - "Squid Jigs"....I purchased three of them (see photo below), I had high hopes of catching some squid for some fresh "calamari". One huge problem, you fish at night, and around here, it doesn't get dark until 10:45 or later.....so those that know me, know that I will have to set my alarm and get up at dark to go fishing....didn't think that one through!

My new Squid jigs,
will I ever stay up late enough
to use them? |
Couldn't go fishing as the seat that the downrigger sits on broke when Mike was out fishing, a new part needs to be fabricated. Naptime it is! Later, sitting up on the bridge, we all of a sudden notice we are no longer anchored and heading to shore at a pretty good pace. Pull up the anchor and go across Cultas Sound to another unnamed bay.....Lots of anonymity going on around here! The sun came out and we found a new bay that was totally protected from both wind and waves and it was beautiful. Spent two night here and headed into Shearwater to see if we could get some back up parts (that we used up) and see if someone in Shearwater workshop can fab something up for the seat.
