Today we took a break from boat building
and went to drop crab pots and pester the flounder. The boys don't have the patience for trolling, and mom put the kibosh on launching the boat last night and getting on the water pre-dawn, so no coho were harmed in the making of the day.
We did catch many dogfish, flounder, a pile of keeper-dungeness and a spot shrimp named Gabby, though.
and just as the eldest minion had completely lost interest in fishing for anything but what he could lasso
the marine radio informed us that there was a boat in distress just north of Edmonds.
(ok, poetic license. He's pointing at a crab pot earlier in the day)
By the time we got there, M/V Spokane had dispatched an inflatable,
But seeing as how that would have significantly delayed the ferry while they towed the vessel to the Port of Edmonds, ran back to the ferry, and retrieved the crew and launch, Gilligan, the Professor, and I decided to test our motor and cleat.
and brought in the catch of the day--a 28' Bayliner.
