Anchor up at 1030 hours today folowing a dinghy row dockside at Ludlow, a walk about the grounds, a few blackberries and a casual conversation with the marina staff. The hook came up ladened with a bit of clay/mud which was quickly dispatched before stowing the iron on deck. We made for Foulweather bluff to cast for "pinks" and within a half hour, Brooke landed a 7 pounder on light spin tackle after a 20 minute battle involving mad dives below Ohana's keel. At 1300 hours we made for Point Hudson by way of the east shore of Marristone. We hugged the shore in the eddy of the flood and found a one knot advantage despite the incoming tide. mid-island we were treated to a surfacing grey whale whose length looked ominously longer than ours. At the northern tip of Marristone, we paused to fish the point at the turning tide. Yes, Brooke hooked onto another salmon and soon we had a silver of 7 pounds to match her other catch. At 1500 hours we threw out the jib and were quickly off with a 15 knot wind toward our home for the night at Point Hudson Marina. Safely tucked in and grilled fresh salmon under the belt we are quite pleased with the generosity of the Northwest on this day. Tomorrow, we are away at 0600 to catch the ebb out into Juan de Fuca and make Cattle Pass with the afternoon flood. Turn Island will be our destination all elements in our favor.
