Fishing and Lots More!

On June 6th Don and I decided to go out deep sea fishing (which neither of us have ever done) so we rented a 14 ft skiff and headed out to the open sea. I am not gonna lie I was a little nervous at first because of all the stories we hear up here about killer whales and sea lions and all that. I was also nervous because an average halibut up here is about my weight.  That is freaky to pull in a halibut that could eat me on a little skiff. None the less I went with Don because he wanted to go so bad and I didn’t want him to go alone. We woke up at 6, made lunches and got all of our stuff together. We headed out and got on our little boat. The people at Knudson Cove said we would be safe as long as we knew how to drive the boat, we had them give us a crash course on how to drive it and we were off.  We got out there and dropped the line, and then we waited. While we were waiting we saw plenty of seals and sea lions right around us, little fish and huge humpback whales. I was turned around and I saw Don’s face looking right behind me and then he said “babe turn around there are whales right behind you” I turned around and about 100 ft from our little boat there were probably 9 humpbacks headed right toward us. Seriously I think both of our hearts sped up a little bit (they were gigantic). They were spraying water out of their blow holes and then they dove down and we could feel the waves from their tales it was pretty intense. Later on we saw a few more a couple of times but not as close. As for our fishing we had something on the line and it broke away, Don realed in his line and our bait was gone except for the head (sneaky fish). So we weren’t able to catch anything because I had to go to a meeting and training for work. But we had a great time.

          A side note to our fishing experience: we were walking off the docks when we saw an eagle flying really low to the dock. It dove down to grab something right off the dock and when it got back into the air it was carrying a man’s bait along with his whole fishing pole. He flew away and the guy that lost his fishing gear was a little irritated to say the least.

                After fishing we went to my work for my training and when I finished training we had 2 hours to kill until the meeting and bbq so I took Don up on the ziplines. We had so much fun just hanging out up there and taking pictures. Then we had a good bbq with my work and headed home to relax.

               Oh and we finished our painting yesterday. It turned out better than we thought it would.

 On June 8th Don and I had a great day we went out and fished off the docks for 5 hours. It was a beautiful sunny day so I just layed on the dock talking to Don while he fished. We had a great time being together and talking about our lives and what we want for the future. Being with Don is bliss, he is so easy to be with and to talk to. We have so much fun and love spending time together. After we got home we went out to dinner to a chinese restraunt that we have never tried before and we loved it. Then we walked around the shops for a little while and of course I found another jacket that I fell in love with. If you know me I have a slight (when I say slight I mean HUGE) addiction to cute jackets. I can never have enough. After that Don and I went to a cute local store where they make soaps and don bought me some blueberry patch soap, which smells sooo good. 

 

There are 9 eagles in this picture (good luck finding them all) the juvenile ones blend in on the right side of the picture pretty well. 

 

I love our nights here together, we are so relaxed here and have so much fun just spending our free time together. We watch movies every night and cuddle (which are my favorite times). We are so lucky to be up here and be experiencing the things that we are. There isn't a day that goes by that we don’t love. 

Don wanted me to put this on here because it is my other addiction ...... Ovaltine! I drink it every night before we go to bed (yes we are about to go to bed and it is light outside).
