Yesterday, the crew took the day off from fishing, to the relief of many salmon, and toured Sitka. By day's end the boys had located the local Elks Club Lodge and payed a visit with the Exalted Ruler. Roger, Dave and Sid are all "Elkies" and are experts at the Elks Hailing Sign. Their Signing improved as the drinking progressed. Non-member Alex was coerced into ringing a bell, not once but twice, causing everyone present in the Elks Lodge to receive two rounds of drinks, on Roger, Dave and Sid.

On Tuesday we got going at 5am to do some local Sitka fishing. In 30 minutes were at the Rock Pile known as Vitskari Rocks. We had landed a King there last week and wanted to see if more were around. By 8 without a bite, it was unanimous. F--- this! Let's head back to Whale Bay. We arrived at the Bay at noon dropped our line along the northern shore, just inside. Before the down-rigger ball was down to depth, the bell was ringing. Dave landed a nice 34-inch king. We fished the Bay until 4pm and anchored back in beautiful Small Arm.
