Parker Island

The three of us left Clam Bay this morning at 7am, continuing down the Trincomali Channel to Parker Island. Mike’s sister has a home here and we are visiting her today. Sunny warm day out again with a light breeze. After getting here, Mike’s sister, Katie, and her partner Kim, and their dog, Skyler, showed us their property and lead us on a walk around the island. The interesting thing about their home, is the house was moved here by barge. Kim showed us photos of the process. I would have loved to been here watching them move that home off the barge and up to the position it is in now! They added the second story later. We walked to the island dock, and then Kim, Katie and I returned while Mike and Bill continued walking farther around the island. I came back to C-Traveler to make my lunch, and found two nice size Red Rock crab in my trap. Katie and Kim made us an excellent supper and an even better desert. I forget what the bottom fluffy stuff was, but on top was homemade chocolate cherry ice cream, with cherries from their garden. This evening Bill and Mike took off to anchor at Wallace Island for the night, either at Conover Cove or Princess Cove. I stayed here at Katie’s neighbor’s dock and plan to head back to Blaine tomorrow morning, and will load out on Friday. Bill and Mike will stay here in the Gulf Islands a few more days. I had two more crab in the trap this evening, so limited out on crab for the day. I’ve been eating crab sandwiches, and with Bill and Mike not here to share the crab, I’ll have enough crab for quite a few more sandwiches. :-)Read more
