Weather: Sunny and warm. Winds: Calm. Seas: Calm.
Motor.
Departed in company with Captain's Mast. Our route took us south through Mosquito Pass where we hopped into the ebb tide. While we turned east at Eagle Point, SW San Juan Island, RT kept southbound. Ta ta Captain's Mast!
Kelly and I had been given a crabbing tip and wanted to check out Hunter Bay, the place we had hooked up with Steve and Janet last spring. Motoring in, we dropped a trap off Crab Island (where else?) and dropped the hook off of the public landing. Going further into the bay would have been have been quieter, less traffic from the landing, but it would have been a long row to check the pot.
Spent the day lounging, relaxing and napping! Towards evening, retrieved the trap and had 3 keeper dungeness! Cleaned them on the back patio and had crab for dinner!
Very quiet night on the hook. One boat entertained us for a while after sunset, just a lot of carousing. While sound travels well over water, they were well enough away and fortunately, shut down before too long.
