Blunden Harbour, second day

Stayed another day here in Blunden Harbour. Rained all morning, and then just cloudy this afternoon. But windy. Winds out of the east around 20-25 kts. Nice to be here in this harbour rather out on Queen Charlotte Strait. Was hoping for some crab today. Yesterday I released two females in the afternoon. Then last evening I released one more. Later, I did have a male in the trap when I checked it, but I was on my kayak, so just put the trap back down and left him in there. This morning I pulled it up, and had one male and one female. Released the female and removed the male and put the trap back down in a different location. Checked it this afternoon, and nothing. So put it back where it was earlier. Keeping my fingers crossed for some legal male crab tomorrow. All have been Dungeness crabs. (They have to be 6.6” and male, to be legal. (Red Rock crab have to be 4.6”) Explored some more on my kayak, circling Byrnes Islet which is an old native burial site. Also walked along the beach looking at the midden. Read some as well. Winds have died down to just a very light breeze this evening.Read more
