HARBOR ON ANCHOR
Saturday,
June 27th
Rain, rain, rain. It has been a wetter than normal trip in our opinion. The past two times we were in Alaska we didn’t get near this amount of rain. I am totally ok with some overnight or early morning showers, but I’d really like it to stay clear for longer stretches of time! It was lightly raining when I got up at 6:30 this morning, then turned into a monsoon, except no wind. Just POURING. I really wanted to deploy crab and prawn traps this morning but no such luck yet. The radar shows a break between 11AM-1PM so am hoping it’s right. UnforgetAbell and Far Niente are due to join us this afternoon, coming in from Hoonah. The other boat left this morning so now we have the bay to ourselves. The flotilla arrived early afternoon and still no break in the rain, which is getting to me. Watched a movie and had a pity party. Then, a miracle occurred – around 5PM the skies cleared up so I rushed out to set pots with my accomplice Connie! We both set 2 crab pots and then deployed the 2 prawn traps. The water was so calm in Freshwater Bay where we put them down, and the temperature was actually quite warm for an overcast day. I have high hopes for this location, we will see tomorrow morning. Dinner tonight was appetizers for dinner on our boat, and a recap from Bill and Lorraine about their week in Glacier Bay, which was fabulous! I made PF Chang "inspired" lettuce wraps, a new recipe for me, and they were fantastic! Meatballs from Abells, Crab Dip from Bryans, and potstickers rounded out our protein rich happy hour.
I have absolutely no photos from today, so revisiting 2018 trip with a favorite shot from Glacier Bay.
