Woke up to another day/night of pouring rain. Rod still left at 5:45 - not my idea of fun but hopefully the fishing is good. So far this year, the shrimping has been terrible but the salmon catching has been great. Desolation is still very empty - maybe this rain is keeping people away. I'm so glad we're in the raft & not anchored out by ourselves. At least we can go visit other boats, find conversation, play games, etc.
So...the guys came back about 10:30, the 2 boats got 5 salmon. It rained the whole time they were gone & Rod came back drenched. He accidently took one of my coats (???) which was red & a windbreaker - NOT a raincoat & NOT waterproof. It dripped red color all over John's boat, Rod's clothes underneath, the shower I hung it in when he got back (until I saw what was happening & clipped a plastic bag around the bottom). Now, one of MY questions was, didn't he try it on before he left...the answer was no, he just stuffed it in his bag. OK...!!! A ha-ha moment I think....
In the afternoon I played 2 games of real scrabble with one of the ladies & then the 4 of us played canasta again. The Silhans came over to use our antenna for their phone & devices since they couldn't get reception in Prideaux Haven where they are anchored. The service has been much worse than usual this year for everyone except us.
We didn't do a group dinner tonight - we ate with Kippers & the other 3 boats ate together. We had hamburgers, corn, baked beans & apple pie which Maggie made for everyone.
Rod & John are headed out fishing at 5:30 tomorrow morning (hopefully with a different coat in tow).
