This morning we checked the shrimp pot and were disappointed to find nothing. Not to be discouraged we set a crab pot and used the cockle clams from St John's Bay smashed together to break the shells for bait. This proved to be very effective as we got 2 perfect dungeness crabs on the first pull and 6 beauties on the second pull. Needless to say we ate a lot of crab while in Berg Bay. The other activity of note that day was an awesome group kayak trip up a long estuary into a river valley (much like the Nisqually Flats back home but on a much larger scale). This was amazingly picturesque and serene and once again the weather was perfect. We expected to see bear but never saw any though the eagles and other birds were out in force. We took the dingies along with us and this allowed us to tow the kayaks back after we had gone up the river far enough since the trip back would have been a difficult and very long paddle. We took lots of pictures and had many stops along the way for goofing off. That night we ate crab and salad and settled in early as we were off at 8am the next morning for the next chapter - Anan Creek and the bear observatory, one of the anticipated top highlights of the entire SE Alaska trip.
