Sullivan Bay




July 14, 2010
We travelled from Pierre's & Echo Bay yesterday and decided to anchor in a well enclosed spot called Hoy Bay. Its naturally protected from winds in any direction. This would be a great place to hunker down in a bad storm. We set our crab traps and enjoyed the day.

A short trip from Hoy Bay to Sullivan Bay Marina. About a mile away from the marina, a pod of porpoise came out and swam under our boat and directly in front of our boat. I stopped the boat and watched them jump all around us. What a great welcoming committee.
Good friends, Russ and Terry Hebblethewaite from Fanny Bay joined us this afternoon. The first order of business was to organize the prawn traps and fishing gear. Having done that we travelled in his boat and deployed the crab and prawn traps to let soak for the night. We then spent the rest of the day fishing and cruising around.

Russ and I left early this morning and retrieved the prawn traps. They were of average size. We then spent the day fishing and had an excellent day on the water. We played catch and release with dozens of Rock Fish and kept a few for supper. Sea Food at its best.
