Boarded!

I was getting ready to take a solo run out to "Location X" for some late afternoon fishing when I ran into Dan and Jerry and Gracie (Dan's little dog) getting ready to go on Dan's 28 ft Albin diesel. I wangled an invitation, and avoided spending my own gas money. We fished a while with only a couple fish before the DNR fish cops came along side to check licenses and safety equipment.

A three person team, of two men and a woman checked the stuff, and politely asked about the fishing. Dan had all his stuff where he could get to it easily, so it didn't take much longer than 5 minutes.

A strange boat passing up the Bay. Checking Marinetraffic.com when I got home reveals it to be the Pacific Guardian, a cable ship:
