Tuesday evening and back from the clubhouse where I saw perhaps 10 rowboats out on a really small ebb.
The big excitement was when a powerboat pulled out from near the mooring buoy with someone hanging onto a throbbing rod.
(Geepers, that sounds dirty.)
Anyway, we watched for quite a time as they fought a fish and slowly drifted northwards, almost into the pool.
In the end they lost the fish, whatever it was, so we'll never know now. Fought for a long time.
Lovely evenings of late, and last night brought along a wee rainbow with it along with seven intrepid and optimistic rowers, none of whom managed a fish. Here are a few pics.
I was walking out to head down to the clubhouse and wanted to see what was at the end of the rainbow, so took this pic.
Turns out it's the Nystar warehouse full of aggregate ore that's the stand-in for the pot of gold at this end.

I hastened to the clubhouse, hoping to perhaps find the pot of gold there, but it turned out the other end of the rainbow just missed it, as can be seen here.
Turned out to be a golden-haired pretty lady instead. (You'll have to take my word for it, she's pretty.)

Here's a pic of three members from the Gage family, Richard on the oars with Mom Betty and Dad Mike getting ready to put their plugs out.
I've mentioned before that Mike and Betty are unique parents as they have two sons who have each rowed a 60 pound plus Tyee in the Tyee Pool.
One was Mike's 61 1/2 pounder 10 years ago and the other was boated by local businessman and Hall of Fame racecar driver, George Stuart many years ago and weighed 63 pounds. I think Richard rowed Mike and Roger, current President of the Tyee Club of BC rowed the other, when he was a teen.
This makes Mike and Betty unique on planet Earth, as no other parents can make that claim.

This last pic was taken last Friday evening when I had John Ingram along as a rod-holder.
Handsome guy, eh?

Not much to report fish-wise, but it's early yet and I haven't had Merv out yet, so hang in there and I'll be posting fish pics before ya know it.
Take care.
