Saltwater and a Few Odd Catches

When in Rome.... We found ourselves visiting family in the Puget Sound.  No trouts, but we did find a few catches.  Crabs and pink salmon (yes, there is still love for pinks) made for some very tasty meals.

Go to Seattle, get the crabs...

So I head out in the boat, Rooster stays ashore.  I get skunked, Rooster catches this guy from the shore.  Yes, we bonked them.  No catch and release when there's salmon on your line and the barby is just feet from the beach.

A different kind of catch...

And yet another kind of catch.  Pike Street Fish Market.  The whole fish toss thing was a little anti climatic.


The view from Sweets' brothers beach house.  How would you like to wake to this every morning?  Yes, that is Mt. Rainier through the window

 Aaaaah, guess what Deke is getting ready for?  6 weeks away, time for daily workouts.

Mike, we were on Vashon Island. The house is looking towards SeaTac. Gorgeous area and great weather for our trip.
