Interesting weather this weekend and Mother's Day

[Peahead]

This time of year always brings some interesting weather and experiences. Was over at Gabriola on Saturday and caught some salmon and as an added bonus got to watch a pretty good orca performance. The weather caught my interest though . Sunshine, calm, wind , calm, rain, more wind gusts , calm again, more sun and then rain....and then sudden fog and then back to sun. Weather reported a steady wind of 8-15 knots at Halibut bank and then at 3 am a sudden gust to 33 knots that came outta nowhere and then calm again.
Was over at Gibsons's today for mothers day dinner at Smitty's Oyster bar on a lovely night....on way home went through torrential downpour and sudden gusts of wind but by the time I had the crab traps pulled and boat back at the barn a vibrant sunset appeared and all settled to a peaceful end to te weekend. Gotta love our coast!!

Nice pics Greg awesome sunset, I have to agree with the weird weather seen some of it all for sure on Saturday.
I wished I had of known you were over there I woulda cruised by for a quick hello,
but if you seen the orcas then you were below me closer to the marker I think, I fished up higher towards the Grande
but did here the orcas popped in for an appearance down that way with a real nice breach or two as well
