I was. Now I’m in Seattle.
I was stuck out on the boat in a sheltered cove while 70 knot gusts whipped the sea into a white froth.
2 days of 20 foot seas between me and Kodiak city.
It was weird.
The storm winds blow around the islands, and the huge tides make standing waves of significant size.
We couldn’t get around the end of the island. The swells in the straight were too big.

Made the best of it and caught a 50lb halibut while hiding from Davy Jones.
I’ll be making Cullen Skink when I get home.

One morning before the storm we had a Barrow’s Goldeneye beat down that resulted in a 4 man limit of all drakes.
