If you look close enough - you can see the tail of a whale and I think a spout of water coming up too!
Jason and Rob with their delicious halibut!

All in all it was a great trip – we came home with probably 15lbs of halibut. I was glad to get off the boat and we had a great halibut dinner with Rob and Jen.

The evening sunset from our back deck.Ever since our first dinner at the Hudson’s,where Shannon made the BEST halibut ever, I’ve been dying for Jason to catch some. So when we were invited out by Rob (the middle school science teacher) and his wife Jen on their fishing boat – I was very excited.
Jason had already been out salmon fishing – so we have plenty of salmon. And last weekend we went bottom fishing just right out on the dock with our friends Joe (the high school social studies teacher) and his wife Rachel. It was really rainy and Rachel and I lasted a good hour before we got cold and went home. They guys walked to the dock on the other side of our house and brought back 3 rock fish which we made fish and chips from for dinner. It was delicious – and Rachel and I got a kick out of watching the guys from the window in our living room.
Anyways, back to our halibut fishing trip. We drove out only about a mile away from the island and put in our fishing poles. Sitting there waiting I started to feel sea sick – which was a first for me. Jen gave me some Dramamine, a little too late. I was able to pull up our first small fish before getting sick off the side of the boat. As I was sick, Jason pulled up another fish AND there were whales breaching off in the distance. This all happened simultaneously. It was quite the experience.
