Very Sunny and Windy!

     Yesterday, it was Sunday, so I had a day off. The Day off was fun! I got to play Call of Duty and I got to sleep in a bit. For lunch yesterday, Me and Uncle Art went to a place called The Zach Shack. It is a little shack that has Burgers, Hot-Dogs and really good Onion Rings. It was in a magazine for the best Burgers. Here is a Picture of The Zach Shack.

The Zack Shack!
     The Onion Rings there are the best Onion Rings I have ever eaten in my life! After I ate my Burger and Onion Rings, Me and Uncle Art went back to the house, and we got ready to go Kayaking. We were going to go Kayaking to the nearest Public Beach. It was about as far as the Keag store when Me and Aunt Pennie Kayaked there. We got water, Uncle Art got his Fishing Pole, and we got our life jackets, and we went down to the water. We each got our Kayak, and we started to go to the beach. It was up to the right, then straight then left around the end of the island. I got a Selfie with Coda.


     We Kayaked all the way to the Beach, going around each turn and it was helpful that the current and the wind to our back was helping us get to the Beach, and it would be way harder going back, because the current would be against us, and the wind would be in our face. We got to the beach, took a little break, then we started to go back. It was way harder, because the wind wanted to push us backward to the beach, but we were trying to get home. We tried to Kayak as close to the land as possible so that the wind would be a little less. I got a lot of really good Pictures while we were Kayaking. 



     On the way back, I saw an Anchor that was spray-painted to the side of one of the rocks.
Anchor.

     On the way Kayaking back to the house, Me and Uncle Art stopped at this Mini beach for a break. It was like a tiny, isolated, private beach.



     We got back to the house, and I played COD with Tony for the rest of the night until 11 PM, then I went to bed, and got up the next day (Today) at 4:48 AM. 

     I did the usual, made a sandwich, packed my lunch, got my clothes and we went down to the Wharf. The sunrise was beautiful. We had to get bait this morning. We got 6 bags of Rock fish, and 4 trays of Herring. Then we went out to haul. We were hauling singles all around. Some close to the shore, others out in the middle of nowhere, and some by the little island with seals. We were not doing that well. There was one place that we were getting a good amount, but we were done by 1:20 PM, and we got 390 LBS. Its not that bad. We almost used up all of our bait that we got earlier this morning, but we had some left over. We got the lobsters out, then I went to wait in Uncle Arts car while he put the Boat on the Mooring. 

     We went back to the house. Uncle Art had somewhere to go at 4 PM, so he left, and I am here alone now, and Aunt Pennie, My Mom, and Levi are in Portland right now, but they are going to be arriving at Aunt Pennies house in a couple hours. I am going to start to read The Alchemist because its my book that I have to read for August. I think im going to have another day off tomorrow, because Uncle Art wants to give another night to the double traps, so that they can get some more lobsters in them before we haul them. They only have 4 nights on them right now, but he likes for them to have 5 nights on them.
