Humboldt Bay - 7/28/23

After my Thursday Cove trip I had to get home, unload and rinse the gear, and then it was 3 hours of loading up 8 boats, 9 seats, 9 paddles, 9 PFD's, 9 wetsuits, 9 sets of booties, 9 jackets, 9 crab rings, big pot, cooker, propane and a bucket - one kayak was a tandem, if you're doing the math!  My group was an extended family - all adults - from Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Boston.  They came out to Eureka, and our crabbing trip was their big event for the weekend.  What a great group of people.  They had a ball, and so did I. 

It was really fun to pull off the outfitting on this trip, and now I know that I can fit all the gear for 9 people on my truck at once!  Taking people from out of town on adventures on the salt is such a blast - I'd better start working harder on marketing.   

Big thanks to Holly, Michele, Hebert, Megan, Melynn, Nik, Mitch and Tawny.  Next year hopefully I can get them fishing offshore.

I like the way you maximized the limited space in the back of your truck.

Up front too!  So maxxed - I barely fit in there.   

Good thing my crabbing spot is just 8 miles or so up 101 at King Salmon, California.

I knew I recognized that road. I love that seafood place at the end of it.

Congrats that's a large group to take out and entertain.  Sure looks like everyone had fun!

Gill's by the Bay - still going strong!  Place has a stellar reputation.

If the wind would've blown early it would've been a much more challenging undertaking!

Thanks for the replies.
