Kwatsi was sunny again this morning! Greg and Byron had to go out and pick up and put away all the traps so that took quite a while. But they did get *3* more prawns! No crabs. Everything was wrapped up and washed off with fresh water from the dock which was a nice treat. "Bob" even got a bit of a bath (I said Spellbound was probably jealous). Internet on and working well again this morning so I continued to support this 1 chatty customer. Then I paid the bill and checked us out with Max.




Just as we were about to leave, Greg reported that the aft head just stopped working and it might be the duck bills. We weren't really in a hurry at this point so he wanted to investigate while the engine room was still cool which of course was fine. Fortunately when he looked into it, it didn't seem it was the duck bills, but instead just the switch. So we, just for now, turned it off while we were not using it - no messy fix needed.

The ride down Tribune was uneventful, but the wind was up a little bit here and there. We were originally going to go directly to "New Vancouver", but along the way Greg suggested that instead we overnight in Waddington and then head to the docks in the morning. This seemed like a great idea all round, as nothing was probably going to happen there on a Sunday anyway. It was glassy when we entered Waddington and anchored up. It was also still sunny and quite warm so there was more flybridge sunning. Shortly afterwards though, the wind did come up and was a bit breezy.

Greg did some "mooching" off the back of the boat for a while, but then decided to take the dingy out and do some fishing in the channel. We had seen fish on the fish finder as we came in. It got a little too breezy where EG was anchored so they moved to in front of the island and got in a nice calm spot. Greg came back after about an hour of buck tailing but had had no success. He did say he was closer though to catching a fish as he had lost his bait!

Dinner on EG tonight. Cracked Crab appetizer from the day before and Sue experimented with a fried rice dish and Greg BBQ'd the 16 prawns for the top. Really good. We watched some TV after dinner and dishes. It was *really* black out as we dingy'd back to SB! Good thing we'd left the light on!
