Flotilla
So the fishing season must be opening. Yesterday the gill netters, and the bow pickers as they are called went by headed North in groups of 4/7, opening up North yes!!
Along with the fishing vessels passing we had not one but TWO choppers yesterday. Last yr in the fall we had a bunch of stuff dumped around the pad for a two week wait. This is all stuff for what we call the mountain tops. What is up there are the antenna for the ALN (just a fancy name for the guards lighthouse vhf system) and one for the Radio operators in Prince Rupert. We did have a bit of taken. Nice to see part of the pad now. They where to come all weekend and move the rest of the stuff but to no luck. It has started to rain and clouds are very low. So maybe tomorrow if all is better.
Our spring seems to be a couple of warm days and the rain and winds. Well it is only June and we are lucky to most. Have been watching the news and parts of British Columbia are flooded. The only road to Prince Rupert is washed out one end and mud slide the other. How lucky we where to get our fresh veggies and fruits this month. Seems one truck made it to Rupert to where we shop.
I have two humming bird feeders one in front of the kitchen window and one off to the side. Well they have finally found the one in front of the kitchen window. So nice to see then and what the play. I have to say that out here is and all the wildlife is one of the many things that make living out here so great. I met someone who said what a dream job. Strange as I thought their life was a dream what they do. It is a bit like a book I read many years a go called The Grass is always green on the other side of the septic tank. It is at times like that having someone say what a dream job and it being a lovely day here slight breeze and no bug that you think to oneself yes it really is romantic and a dream job with all you see, with the ocean at your feet 24/7 365 brings a smile to ones (ok my face). Well off to have morning coffee (second cup) and watch the flotilla of boats still heading North. Signing off from the Bluff.
