Had some rain last night and this morning and it was low clouds around the bay. Greg went out (in rain pants) to check the prawn traps, while EG had a late and lazy morning. We got more prawns! Again, the "Washington" trap (i.e.: Washington legal which means bigger holes) had way more than the others. Greg back to pick up Byron and they went out to check Byron's traps. Not many but a few more. I had a shower and actually worked on the computer for something completely different!

Lunch back on SB, then Byron and Greg went out fishing. I finished up the work on the computer and then did some reading. It had stopped raining and warmed up a bit, but not exactly sunny. They didn't catch any salmon, but caught more small rockfish. Back to the boats for EG's 4:30 "Boaters Net" Ham Radio call. Greg went out to pull in the crab traps and got a very large red rock crab - big enough to warrant eating. We immediately cleaned and cooking it for an appetizer. Then Greg and Byron headed out to pull in the prawn traps again for the last time. Still more prawns! In the end, we had enough for a 2nd dinner tonight, and 2 packages of 48 prawns, 1 for each boats freezer.

Prawn taco's with lime cilantro crema and coleslaw on SB for dinner! It took a while to pull it all together and everything created a bunch of dishes. By the time we ate and cleaned up, there wasn't much time left for anything. It's noticeable now how early it's getting dark.
