1423, November 17th, 2007--As I key this in Whisper is riding at anchor off of the Shilshole breakwater. I dropped the hook in 17' and have run back to 40' with 12 knot winds gusting to 16.
Since returning from the Gulf Islands with my great crabbing experience I eagerly awaited the opening of the Winter season on Puget Sound. In order to not lose a day I entered my email in the website for the WA Dept of Fish & Wildlife. In late October they came through! The winter season is to run from Nov 1 through Jan 2. Unlike the Summer season which was open Wed through Sat midnight, this season is 24/7. Yahoo!
I went out the first weekend and got 3 Dungeness and 3 Rock crab. The next weekend with the SSYC Poulsbo overnight, I mastered catching star fish. Boo! On one set I did pull up 12 male Dungeness but they were all small.
The purpose of this trip is twofold. While hoping for crab; the pot is down in 84' of water for another half hour. I will then weigh anchor and pot and head for Point Monroe to reset the trap and overnight on our SSYC buoy in Port Madison. The second purpose is to STUDY! I have completed the course work with the U.S. Maritime Academy for a Master's Inland 50 Ton License. Last night I passed the Charting, Nav General and Sailing endorsement tests. Monday comes the hard one, Rules of the Road. I will cram tonight, tomorrow and Monday for that...
That is it for now. Hopefully there will be crabby photos to include with the next post and a different blog for the Coast Guard licensing process.
Fair winds,
Skipper, maybe to be Captain, Joe
