We've decided to start running north, in the company of Tony's little sporty and a bigger sports boat. I get the feeling the Laura doesn't have many friends in the fishing industry - she is a bit of a neurotic person, with somthing of a persecution complex. I imagine that these traits have not allowed her to make many friends - she is too worried about others competing for her piece of the pie. Not unusual among fishermen, and to be a woman in an industry dominated by males must not be easy.

The weather looks ugly out there. Brooding grey skies and turbulent water. We're still on the inside, so no real seas yet, but from the looks of things they are coming. And on a little aluminum boat like this, it doesn't take very big seas to make the ride uncomfortable.

We're tied up in a little ancient BC Packers plant somewhere up the coast. Haven't had cell reception all day, and probably won't have it again until we're done. I'm going through a bit of a withdrawl, but nothing bad so far.

Good evening - I got the chance to take some pictures, and I enjoyed poking around the old plant. By tomorrow night we should be near the fishing grounds... On with the adventure.
