Fishing at Lenard's Harbor

Yesterday, I went with Bri, Meg, and Mark to Silver Hole, by Lenards Harbor. The hike was about a mile through brush, but it was gorgeous. There were lots of bear resting areas and so much bear poop that we were sure a bear had just been there. We fished for about an hour and only Bri caught a fish-but it was a silver so she filleted it and brought it home. On the hike back the tide was in and the small creek we had walked through was now about two feet deep. Bri, Meg and I leaped over it pretty easily- Mark jumped with two feet and landed knee deep in the creek- it was hilarious. Here are some pictures of us fishing, hiking and waving.

8th Annual MC Raft Race

Last night Bri, Meghan, and I went down the Raft Race held by MC's bar. Their team- SaltyDawg was in the same run as mine- the HalfDs- and we both got our butts handed to us by the reining champs. As the person in the back of the raft, I had to stand on the beach and push off with the raft into the harbor. After jumping the raft, Bubbles and I paddled our butts off and basically couldn't get the boat to go straight. Sitting on my knees covered in water that was freezing actually wasn't that bad. Bri and Meghan steered into us and then we collided with the other team as well. After making it around the buoy we were in third and stayed there. Tim told me that he could hear me shouting to Bubbles the whole time-I guess that sound really carries on the water.
