This morning we got up pretty early and did a few hours of work before we took a mid-day fishing break and went out to look for some salmon in Pedder Bay with our guide, Chris. Those are the Olympics there in the background, and the Olympic Peninsula. Straight out…

Last night we went down to the marina to watch the sunset and wander around. The weather has continued to be sunny and gorgrous. The Wi-Fi here at Pedder Bay is slow and inconsistent so it's a little hard to work as efficiently as we'd like to, and we've got…
