Our latest project besides fishing is doing research for a book we plan to call 'Best Scrambles and Climbs of the Inside Passage'. Here Matt does some class 4 moves on some grippy rock with bomber handholds near Fury Cove.
The approach entails a dinghy landing on a sandy beach with a short walk over a boulder field. Vertical gain is minimal, about 15 feet, but climbers must be knowledgeable of tides and plan accordingly.
Speaking of planning accordingly, we sure didn't. The other day we checked our propane level and it was shockingly low. We only have one tank, which is something which will change in the near future.However, when we bought the boat the previous owners left a lot of goodies on the boat, including many cans of sterno. This enabled us to do some simple cooking until we got to Shearwater to re-provision. Thank you Kathy and Dick!
Since we had no propane, I haven't fished. But tomorrow the pole is going back out. Watch out fishies.

Out of propane, hmmm? Ah, the virtues of redundancy! We thoroughly enjoyed the video chat on Skype yesterday! Have a good sail to Prince Rupert! Good luck with the fishing!
I have fond memories of roasting colored marshmallows over sterno on my Dad's boat in the summers.
