The sun is up now on the Johnstone Strait and Gordon (Sonia’s dad) is helping Otto pick up the morning set. We gave him a crazy introduction to gillnetting when we made a dark-set to close to Blackney Pass. The tide got us and we got pulled, net and all. through the pass. We were half spun around in whirlpools and finally spit out into Blackfish Sound, several miles from where we started. We caught fish though. 250 or so overnight. Fish were jumping all around just day was breaking, riled up by at least a dozen orcas swimming right by the boat and diving under our net.
All in all another good night.
