Gale warnings are never good news for mariners – particularly on a day that travel in the big water has been planned. Careful analysis of the weather indicated that the gale was 12 to 24 hours off shore. That provided enough time to fish in route but only time to catch one small king salmon (about 10 lbs). The sea was lumpy and a little ominous and the winds came from all directions.
We headed for Tofino Inlet and anchored in Tranquilito Cove. It was very hard to believe that outside the winds were raging at 70 knots with the tranquil waters we experienced.
Watched a Black bear as we pulled crab pots. Five nice crab and we decided to allow the bear free range of the beachBeautiful anchorage and a very happy birthday for Jan. Thanks for the many birthday greetings
