We finished our crab season on Tuesday with our final shipment to Portland and celebrated with a big crab dinner. Moving 300 pots back onto dry land was a little easier on my back this time through because of the two months training! The picture shows the boat stacked with 72 pots...barely any room to stand on deck. Those had to be loaded onto the skiff (20 at a time), and then hauled up the beach and into the woods.
The "booby" picture was a creature growing on a rope that we hauled up. With 30 years experience working on boats, Steve has never seen anything like them...they even included eerily similar "nipples?" Haha.
Other pics are us goofing off on a bike/run to Herbert Glacier (the same Glacier Tyler and I hiked to 3 years ago and went into an ice cave), and Steve and I enjoying a rare sunset from a real fishing boat.
The boat is now outfitted for long lining, and we are leaving tomorrow for Glacier Bay to catch 4,200 pounds of halibut. The weather forecast is grim with 4-5 foot seas and heavy rain...should be a good trip. NOT
