Say It's Not So!!

The solstice has come and gone AND NOW, ACCORDING TO THE NEWSPAPER, WE ARE LOSING 3 MINUTES OF SUNLIGHT DAILY!!!!  But, at least, it happens between 3 and 4 in the morning, so we're not affected.

We went to Seward for David's company trip which, this year, was a halibut fishing trip.  What a wonderful time.  We arrive on Thursday and camped in Talketna and then were lucky enough to meet up with Tom Moreau and his family at Exit Glacier on Friday morning.    They are Dylan's friends who have a cabin near where he used to live in Homer and now live in Moab.  We saw a lot of them whenwe were in Moab and like them quite a lot.

Then we all went to Seward where we met up with Dylan and Angela.  Everyone but Dylan, Angela and me went to the Sea Life Center....I got a cut and color in D and A's hotel.  Angela is so generous with her talent!  Then out to dinner, then David and I got to sleep on our fishing boat.  Of course, I thought we were going to get a state room, not a bunch of little coffins and bunched up in one room.  Be that as it may....

Fishing was great!  freezing cold and wet, but very successful.       All Three boats caught a total of 3100 pounds of halibut which we split.  Now our freezer has no room because it is all filled with halibut.  Poor us!  David is holdinga ling cod which, although suppsoedly very tastey, had to be thrown back because the season wasn't open yet.  Fishing is very tiring

The weather has been cold and rainy for about a week, but today, July 2 the sun is shining and it is in the high 70's.  How wonderful and beautful.

For the long 3 day Independence Day weekend we are going ona guided float trip on the Delta River and MORE FISHING!
