Time passes so quickly

Can't believe that my last post was June 22...the days have been busy - I hope you all had a great 4th of July. Mary and I traveled to Cape Cod for the 4th to visit with our best buds - Sue and Susan. It was a great trip!

There were many highlights - including a trip to a working organic cranberry bog...learned lots of cool things, such as - cranberries are "dry harvested" and "wet harvested." The wet havested technique is a second harvest and these berry can only be used for juice and jams. The berries found in the produce section as whole berries and/or cranraisins arrive in stores through the dry harvest.

Back in Seward and Anchorage - our friends at Puffin Charter were nice enough to take me out on a combo trip that was not full last week (halibut and silver salmon) as always when I am fishing it was a blast (and a beautiful day). Summer is quickly passing with lots of fishing, gardening and Alaska Baseball League games...plenty to keep us busy. Gotta run for now - I hear through the grapevine that the King Salmon are still at the water fall - high tide is 11:30pm and my snagging hook is begging to hit the water.

Dipping netting this weekend complete with camping (full hookups) - report to follow...

Later Ginger
