Before leaving Kumealon Inlet, we checked into the Great Northern Boaters' Net (Ham Radio) using our Single Side Band Radio. We spoke briefly to Darlene (Net Control) letting her know that we had moved on from Prince Rupert, Kumealon Inlet, now heading toward Hartley Bay at the
SE end of Grenville Channel where we hoped to have better luck crabbing. The weather was dry, improving to partly cloudy with nice sun breaks! The best news was that the ebb tidal current was with us, and we were going from 7.5 to 9.5 knots the entire day. Once we arrived in the
Hartley Bay area, we put down our crab pot, and on the second try came up with a handsome male keeper for dinner! Life is good!
