 TAKATZ BAY ON ANCHOR

Tuesday, July 7th

OMGee, it is not raining this morning! John went out fishing early this morning to try it one more time. Meanwhile Connie and I plotted to get out on our kayaks and take advantage of the break in the weather. We had the most beautiful paddle to the head of the inlet where there is a stream pouring out into the bay with a respectable current. We reached down deep to find our inner athlete, and paddled hard to the mouth of the stream, then rode the current all the way back out, which, when combined with the outgoing tide, was rather swift! John was once again skunked on fishing and is getting quite discouraged. The commercial fishing boats are fishing just outside and to the north so it would be nice to know if they are catching anything. When we were approaching Takatz a couple days ago, there must have been 50 commercial boats lining the shores just north of Takatz, setting nets. The rain returned this afternoon, the TV came on, and we binge watched 4 episodes of “I Will Find You” on Netflix, an edge of your seat thriller! Dinner on our own tonight followed by a rousing game of 5 Crowns on the Bryans boat after dinner. 

Nice view looking to the head of Takatz Bay

Note the depth, clearly in my kayak for this shot, looking west in Takatz
