Well I made it back and had a great time. The fishing wastn't great but We caught a ton of crabs and the weather was absolutely perfect. Going through deception pass during tide was an eye opener. It totally pushed that 51 footer around and the twin diesels were working hard to keep 6 knots. The tide is very impressive. Thanks to all who helped with info. Tom at Auburn sports and Marine was a great help. I guess we were a bit early for pinks and we saw one king caught. We were in Roche harbor and that was a cool place. The funnest part was jumping the wake of a big fishing boat in a zodiac with a 60 horse motor. I love the ocean at least when its 75 degrees and sunny. I felt like I was on a like it was so calm. We saw dolphins and seals ate lots of crabs and did enough boating to last a lifetime. My buddies boat is in Lake Union so going through the locks was reall cool also. Anyway despite striking out on fishing it was a great time thanks again for your help.
