Darrel got up at 4:45 and went fishing with his brother, Wally. They dropped the crab pots and fished for about 6 hours. They caught a salmon that Darrel described as a small jack pink. I guess he wasn’t sure exactly what it was. But other than that, nothing.

They pulled the crab pots and only got 2 crab. Wally had a bit of a problem with one pot. Either the line was tangled up or it wasn’t as long of a line as Darrel said ( a bit of a difference of opinion, I gathered), but the result was that the pot was lost.

However, Wally redeemed himself when one of the lines that was spliced came apart and he was able to grab the line before the pot was lost!

Overall, I think the boys enjoyed themselves, even if they didn’t catch much.

Darrel said he felt better than yesterday. He seemed tired and a little weak when he got home. He took about a 10 minute nap on the couch with his legs up.

We went out about 5:30 for a dinner/fishing/crabbing cruise. I had picked up a B&E teriyaki tri-tip and marinated some of our zucchini and yellow squash with olive oil, fresh chopped rosemary and thyme, garlic, salt and pepper to grill with the meat.

It was fairly windy and it took us an hour plus to pull the pots, so we decided to head home instead of trying to fish and cook dinner at the same time in choppy seas. We did get 6 crab, however.

I fixed our dinner at home on the charcoal grill. I thought the zucchini and yellow squash turned out great. It was very flavorful. Darrel thought it was a little too flavorful.  I grated some fresh parmesan on the grilled veggies, what’s not to like?   Can’t please everyone, I guess?

Darrel is going out fishing again tomorrow, bright and early! I figure he must be feeling better!
