Back to Basics

Roger got in around midnight and we got out on the river by 11 AM the next morning.

Roger and I got our three and were waiting for Tony to finish up. First I demonstrated the fine art of netting the evasive Sockeye, then I let him try.

Almost, then finally......

Tomorrow a 6:00 am launch in Homer with Bill.

Weather not perfect anymore; clear and mid 60s. Oh well, somebody has to do it.
