Tomorrow morning Ohana will be off the dock at April Point. The current of the flood tide will pulse at a maximum near 6:30am in Discovery Passage. The plan is to ride the speedy current south and fish the Hump, the southern tip of Quadra Island. The salmon are said to be thick and everywhere. In addition, Sockeye sport fishing begins tomorrow. Getting an early start will afford some fishing time en route to Hornby Island, fifty miles to the south in the Strait of Georgia.
The time at April Point has been productive and relaxing. Progress was made on Ohana's bright work, the bike was cleaned and tuned, water tank filled, groceries procured and a couple of bike rides under the wheels. Jazz night at the lodge and a good salmon dinner topped the stay.
Anyway the place is about to get crowded as a wedding party has rented the resort for the entire weekend. Massive, well appointed ships with polished hulls have already arrived.
With a tip of the hat, Ohana will slip into the rippling current and bid the new couple a most prosperous future which, from all appearances, may not be a stretch…so happiness and a fulfilling life could be more appropriate.
Now let's find some salmon.
