Ship's Log:
So, another unforgettable day aboard the grace. Our fishing derby did not last that long though. Our lines were in the water an hour before slack  and after we had made an improvised down rigger. Ten minutes later we had  two spring salmon on-board. One at 18lbs and one at 25lbs. As this was  enough fish for lunch we stopped fishing, too bad eh. They were fabulous,  and all were eaten. Afterwards we set sail and raced around brooks with a  18 kt breeze. Anchoring at rugged after a delightful roast beef dinner...

Tough hey?


Tomorrow is a beach day with possible surfing as well. All are well.
