O.K. having spent friday in the wind and waves between everret and mukitao with out even one shrimp in the pot I deciede to go out agian today(sunday) with my son to try agian. I pulled the equivelant of leaving the plug out. I found 270 feet of water and having 300 feet of rope . so Iam ok. right . hey I even have the clips with bannana weights to pull my extra line down. looking like a pro. so I go to set my pot, let out line attach bouy to end of line toss bouy over and watch the whole rigg go under. I dont know if my depth finder was off or if i driffted in to deeper water? note to self. more rope, gps, 2 or 3 floats. The good news is that me and the kid got to see two grey whales down near the ferry. we followed at a distance and watched for 20 mintues. I have been here for a little over a year and have seen grays and killer whales from the boat . I love living here. If anyone finds a bouy marked tom elliott U.S.M.C. the number is on it please give me a call. Thank you. If anyone has extra pots and no one to go with them this week in the afternoon Iam free after 1:00 most days . dont worry I will not touch anything. Tom
