Did I mention yet that we've been crabbing at Ocean Falls? Yup, so far no crabs of course. But we read that the crabs were deeper than we were putting the pots, so yesterday Byron and Greg put them out around 90'. Greg went out this morning first thing to pick up the pots (again) and we had 2 keepers! Miracles never cease! So Greg showed Danny and Susan how to clean and cook a crab, and we gave them 1 and kept 1 for us. We cooked ours as well and then put it into the fridge for later.

We said "see you later" to Lowla and Susan and Danny this morning. They are heading south a little faster than us. They weren't sure where they were going to go, but they didn't need to go to Shearwater. (Also said "see you later" to the boat Merrion). We all left around the same time and headed down into Fisher Channel. We turned off into Gunboat Passage and had a lovely cruise through Beales Bay.

We had fresh crab plus some soup for lunch on Spellbound, and then headed out in the dingy to cruise. There is a reversing rapids that you want to traverse at slack into the "outer" and then "inner" lagoon. So we did. It was lovely in there but didn't see anything special. Just gave it about 1/2 an hour or so after slack and then headed back out. Don't want to get crazy or anything. We continued out into Gunboat Passage and into some small islets next door.



Back to EG for "oh-beer-thirty" and dinner and a lovely evening.
