Friends and Food

We woke to the sound of seiners humming as they spread their nets around the inlet. At about 8 am we headed to the Yurt to visit our friends, Bob and Judy (and their beautiful black dog, LucyLu). The Yurt is on a float in the next cove. After a fabulous Yurt breakfast (bacon, hash browns, cheesy scrambled eggs, gravy and toast), Jerry pulled the crab pot, which was plugged with fat dungeness crab. We kept 14, gave 6 to Bob and Judy and threw back 15 more!

The canner is humming away on the stove. We've spent the afternoon shaking and processing the crab which is now in 24 cans being cooked.

The weather has been mild and cloudy, but there's been no rain today (yet). A light westerly breeze has been blowing most of the day.

Mellow Morning at the Cove

Quiet day at the cove. Watched whales on the other side of the inlet breaching and slapping the water with their flukes. Seiners are cruising back and forth, scouting for fish. Overcast and calm, but warm. Enjoyed a long, relaxing hot tub. Life is good.

A view of the cabin at Coffee Cove

Started in 1975, the cabin is an ongoing (and never-ending) work in progress. Built on a heavily wooded 4.54 acre plot eight miles east of Tenakee Springs, Alaska, the cabin provides an excellent place for viewing wildlife and marine activity in Tenakee Inlet.
