Dale brought Nancy & her kayak over in his Bullfrog boat when he picked Rod up to go fishing at 11:00. We kayaked for a couple of hours around several bays on Henry. We saw 5 deer along the way. Nancy decided to paddle back to her house when we got to the boat. She was concerned that Cricket, her white poodle, would get into trouble while she was gone even though she was locked in a bathroom. Apparently Cricket has the same propensities as Shadow - loves to take toilet paper all over the house as it unwinds & chew on it. She also likes to eat eye glass frames & other things as well.
Rod & Dale got back at 3pm - no fish. They kept getting near Orca killer whales & had to kill the motors. Dale got a $150 fine (usually $1200) for getting too close earlier this year so he's now a believer.
The Captain told me that we're going home tomorrow as Dale had asked if he wanted to go fishing again. Another boater is going with him instead. Apparently Rod is already thinking about projects he wants to do. That's what happens when we start heading home!
There were at least 3 boats that came in today that we have been seeing consistently on this trip - Skippy, Top Gun & Daisy.
The outstation is pretty full tonight. There is a minus tide at 8am tomorrow which affects one section of the docks for boats that have a larger draft. A sailboat was over there & has a draft of 7 feet. There is quite a bit of current running in here & they couldn't get off the dock so a couple of guys got in a dinghy & pulled him away. He's now right next to us on the other side of our dock & could barely fit in. His sailboat is called Carefree & the owner is Dick Bell. He comes to our Ropeyarn North dinners in the winter time. He had quite a crew on the dock helping him get in, including Rod.
