Greetings once again from my humble abode, here on the beautiful Tyee Spit.
We are 13 hours into this new season already but alas, I just checked with Bob, the Weighmaster, and he confirms no fish were encountered today, despite the heroic efforts of the two crazy bast...... er.....I mean the two enthusiastic people who braved a fresh NW wind and incoming tide combo and were on it, first thing this morning.
Here's a photo.
I don't know who these guys are but will find out and pass along later.
As usual, Bob and Judy have the yard of the Tyee Clubhouse looking fantastic, and here's the evidence for that.
Thanks to the crew who showed up to do a clean-up of the property and docks etc. also.
Nice to start the year off in pristine shape.
On a more personal note, this past year has seen a number of things happen which I need note, which I find helpful in dealing with the pain of loss and stuff like that.
I turned 80 back in early May, as most of you will know, and I enjoyed that so much I can hardly wait to turn 90.
That's the good part.
I lost three people who all had meaning in my life, my cubicle mate in basic training at HMCS Cornwallis, in 1964, Al Falk, one of my longest and dearest surfing pals, Steve Richey, and my favorite and longtime gal pal, Donna MacFarlan.
All had a special place in my heart, and I miss them being alive and in my life.
But life goes on and here we are, about to start the 101st. year of this crazy thing called Tyee fishing, and despite the horrible year just past, we anglers hold hope for a better season than that one was, except for Greg Askey of course. He loved last year. LOL
Anyway, as usual there will little to report on regarding Tyee for a couple of weeks, but I shall try to keep you updated and informed as best I can.
And remember, anyone who would like to get out with me should let me know when you will be available and we'll work out something.
No charge.
Take care.
