• Newcastle Island Marine Park, day 2

    June 21 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    Another beautiful day here at Newcastle Island Marine Park. Woke up to a Happy Father’s day message from my other twin son. Any time I hear from my kids means a lot to me!
    We all decided it would be nice to spend another night here. This morning I limited out on crab by 10:30am. Every time I pulled the crab trap up, I had crab in it. They were not always legal, so I would release them, but every time there was crab! This has been the most productive crabbing location I’ve been in. We don’t need to leave very early tomorrow, so I’m hoping I can get the day’s limit again tomorrow before we leave.
    This morning I rode my kayak around the bay again. Mike and Bill had gone out earlier to explore on their Kaboats. Before and during lunch, I steamed the crabs and divided them up to share with Bill and Mike. Then after lunch the three of us hiked the trails around the island some more. Interesting to see all the left over sandstone rock columns. Also found some of the old hole saws that were used to cut the columns. This afternoon, a 29’ C-Dory came in. Only three of them were made that size. I didn’t even know C-Dory had made a 29 footer. I did know they made some 27’, but not many of those either.
