Ladner Lass

Big Bay on Stuart Island

Another early morning. We are heading north with Marko following.  The rest leaving later.  Nice sea, picked up a little around Grief Point named so because of its exposure to westerly winds.  Saw dolphins on our way here.  Past Lund, originally settled by the Thulin brothers in 1890, and past Squirrel Cove.  Perfect timing for the Yucaltas.  These rapids can run up to 18 km/h.  Betty called Big Bay Community docks on Stuart Island and they have lots of room for us all @ $1. per foot.  Mike and Bob are not far behind. 
Tommy Jr (David’ nephew) came over for happy hour and told us about his broken leg.  He recently caught a 72lb salmon.  He’s guiding for Michelle Phiefer tomorrow morning and her husband David E Kelly out the next day.
