2010 Trip 5 - Pacific Grace

Traveling was the goal today as the wind was light and the sea down. Our goal was the Brooks Peninsula where we know the beaches are second to none. We were underway by 0600hrs and traveled most of the north. Just before anchoring for the day a stop was made at our favorite fishing hole and we were not disappointed. Within 20 minutes there was over one hundred pounds of fish on board, mostly cod with a nice sized Salmon as an extra treat. Immediately the “dressing “ crew began their work. Those who had never filleted a fish before had a chance to learn the art. We hope to eat the cod tomorrow and as I write this note the Salmon is “brining” in the fridge so it will be ready for the smoker by morning, oh how everyone loves smoked Salmon. Today´s travel again brought numerous Humpback whales into view which each time forces everyone to stop what they are doing to run and enjoy the show. All are well in the hold singing their hearts out at mug-up.
