We got going relatively early this morning in order to get around the corner. Peril Straight was glassy and calm which was nice, and there were two other recreational boats going in the same direction as us, one called "You Dear" and another called "Peregrine". Chatham was fine as cruising as well.

We had been texting with Ken and Kim about planning a trip to the Anan Bear Conservatory later in the week, and Ken mentioned that he saw we were close to "You Dear", and if we saw them, we should say Hi for them. We anchored up in Takatz just after "You Dear". While coming into the Bay, there were fish jumping everywhere. So we had some lunch and then jumped in the dingy and tried fishing for about an hour. Oh shock, we didn't catch anything. But we got the "gist" of the new "Diver" gizmo thingy we bought so we could fish without the down rigger. We stopped by "You Dear" on the way back in to say hello to them on behalf of Ken & Kim. We met Peter and Gail and they were very nice.

Back to the boat. Did stuff, had dinner, and decided to stay another day. We decided that Takatz was a really great place because you were hidden in this lovely cove, but you still had a cell signal, and still had internet! How cool is that!

Several other boats arrived as well so apparently it is a popular place. We also had a couple of *big* yachts come in which was amazing. Fun to watch them stop, anchor, dump all the water toys (kayaks, jet ski's, inflatable dingy's) and then also have the accompanying fast boat / fishing boat. Not our peeps.
