WELL IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING DAY OUT THERE TODAY! FLAT CALM WATER, WARM TEMPERATURE, AND CLEAR SKIES MADE FOR AN IDEAL DAY FOR A QUICK TRIP TO GABRIOLA ISLAND TO CHECK THINGS OUT. WE LEFT OUR SLIP IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER AT NOON AND HAD OUR LINES IN THE WATER OFF GABRIOLA ISLAND BY 1PM. WE WERE QUICKLY INUNDATED WITH LOTS OF PACIFIC GREY COD. IT WAS TOUGH TO KEEP THE LINES IN THE WATER WITHOUT HOOKING A COD. WE PERSERVERED AND WE WERE ABLE TO LAND A NICE CHINOOK SALMON FOR DINNER BEFORE PULLING THE GEAR. AT 3:30. BROUGHT THE PRAWN TRAPS WITH US AS WELL AND GOT A FEW FOR DINNER. ON THE WAY HOME WE SAW THE CANADIAN NAVY ENGAGED IN SECURITY ACTIVITIES FOR THE OLYMPICS. PRETTY NEAT TO SEE!
