Yesterday two men braved the angry sea to hunt and gather and provide for their families. They rose at 3:10 in the morning to get themselves to the dock on time. The endured a lot of rocking and rolling, accompanied by the sound of grown men hurling over the side of a boat. (One of these two men discreetly lost a doughnut over the side of the boat, but did not go to the point of hurling in an ugly way.) They worked themselves silly to bring home dinner to the rest of us. The group photographers were so distracted by the bounty of provision that they both forgot to take pictures of us enjoying their catch. But we did enjoy their catch. Grilled to perfection with garden fresh zucchini and potatoes and garlic bread dripping with butter. A meal fit for a king. Actually a meal fit for two kings ~ who braved the angry sea.
Ahoy!
The bountiful salmon of their labor.
The two kings with their catch.
I have a feeling these two boys, I mean men, I mean KINGS, will be back out there next year experiencing this all over again.
Yes! Way to go Brad! Larry will be so proud of you! You will have to join him someday in Sitka, Alaska.
ReplyDeleteJust showed Larry the pictures of the salmon! He said, "sweet." Wishes he could have gone too!
