Another good day of calm seas and good paddling. The big news is the fishing improved and dinner was described as the best fresh salmon, cooked to perfection, ever! Remember, part of the Challenge is taking good care of ourselves and we’re doing just that! Although there are a few minor aches and pains, this is tough TEAM and we’re all in great spirits. Things are going so well this is a good time to thank our terrific guides Colin & Rob, Steve our fantastic outdoor chef & Ashley superb support boat and camp finder.
A very special thanks to Ed Merta for donating the use of his Morgan Ketch sailboat as a support boat. Ed and first mate Randall Kall have provided us with an extra measure of safety, friendship, extra storage and superb camera positions. Ed volunteered on his own initiative and his contribution has been very important to our success. We hope he and Randall are enjoying the Challenge as much as we enjoy their company.
The seals have been occasionally popping their heads up near our kayaks but today we saw them close up on the shore. A Bald Eagle perched on a tree overlooking camp and was apparently very envious of our salmon. We continue to be mesmerized by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and can’t wait until tomorrow’s challenge of longer stretches of open water.
PS: As soon as we iron out some reception difficulties, we’ll post more pictures.
