We are learning to forage for food in Desolation Sound and offer many thanks to Jon and Lois Kipper for their many kindnesses and their delightful company. Their thirty years of cruising Desolation have provided them with a great deal of expertise which they so willingly shared with us. Jon took us prawning, taught us the ins and outs and then gave us the catch. They shared with us their freshly caught smoked salmon and greenling and led us to fine oysters and clams.
Greenling was a species of fish that was unknown to us. It is an amazingly colored with a bright turquoise mouth and tongue and soft aqua flesh that turns snow white upon cooking. We cooked our first paella of the season to share with the Kippers. A small thanks and great fun for us.
We eat oysters nearly daily, enjoy clams and are looking forward to solo prawning and getting started with fishing. Jon caught a nice 14 lb king a few days ago so we know the fish are waiting for us.
and making friends with other cruisers. In Grace Harbor we had the delight of getting to know Jon and Lois Kipper aboard the Kipper. They graciously shared their experience of thirty years of cruising Desolation Sound. They took us prawning, showed us clam beaches, shared their smoked salmon and smoked greenling with us.
