July 9 2016: Time for bread

The day started at 5:30 with the morning flood pick. I had noticed Inku fishing cracker crumbs out of a Ziplock bag and thought that maybe it's time for bread. So when we came in from the flood pick, I asked if they'd rather handle the tide alone while I baked bread. That was a definite yes.

Oksanna and Jeff had the tide off, but after they slept a little bit, they got a meal ready for the crew while I made the bread. The crew got to return to a cabin where lunch was ready and where maple bars and four loaves of bread were just about done rising. Oksanna is looking forward to making roti when the next bread need arises.

The wind has kicked up and I think it'll keep blowing through the night and through tomorrow morning's tide. We went out for the evening tide at about 6 after watching the neighbors seemingly have very little in their nets. So we weren't expecting much. But we were surprised! And we had to rush to clear the nets before the tide turned. The ebb wasn't quite as full, but we seem to be having a lot of late hitters again. We went through for our last pick in about knee deep water. Patrick went back to walk through ... and found about 60 more! Really, it's highly inconvenient.

We got in at about 1 AM and will go again at 6:15 AM. So... time for bed.

It's looking a lot like the 2015 season.
