This morning on my way home from work I happened to glance out at the water and saw the boats starting out for the fishery. It was raining and rather miserable. Here are some pictures of the boats and their skiffs being towed behind. For those that don't know, the skiff's are used to bring in the herring.
There's just something so soothing and calming about watching these boats go out. I have always loved the water and boating I guess that is way I am drawn to living so close to the sea.
After havng made this post, hubby had to go to town. He took the camera and now I just have to edit this post to include some of the photos he got. These photos show you the herring fishery in action as well I have included a little 40 sec. video he took with the camera so you can get a feel for the surroundings.
These are the skiffs I was talking about, you have to have your sea legs for this job.
These photos are taken just from shore in my town. Dark and dreary isn't it. Not sure I would want to be out there today.

I want to live close to the water so I can take some cool pix!!! I love checking in on your blog! :)
Great pictures these are! Too bad you couldn't get some of the sea lions running about as well. Maybe later?
OK, you followed me home to spank me for my feline proclivities with the quail, but I get to eat the fish, right? ;-)
Great pics!
well, there's definitely no water near us... not like that anyway. our "sights" include horse-and-buggies.
but when i've been out vacationing near big lakes & oceans, i really did enjoy seeing the boats out there.
That's a sight we don't see here in my neck of the woods! I was watching a documentary the other day about boats going out to catch crabs and/or lobsters out east..not a very easy job at all! I imagine catching herring is all done with nets and such as well? Love that close up picture of the boat!!
How wonderful to live in a place that is so abundant in beauty.......including you my friend!
Variety they say is the spice of life.
While you share you photos I can almost feel the salty mist on my face.
I just love these photos and your descriptions of everything :)
That is so neat! Thank you for sharing it. I love the last pic with all the birds descending BTW.
did you check out the video...I think hubby did a pretty good job seeing as he did have his tripod with him and it was taken on my camera...glad you enjoyed the photos
I think I must be a dreary creature at heart...I love walking along the shore on days like this - as long as I have on the proper clothing! I love overcast days at the beach. We honeymooned in December in Monterey and drank hot buttered rum. It was a wonderful time, honeymoon aside ;^)
Your espouso's video was very good.
Oh gracie you so politely caught me on a spelling error and never said a thing...how lovely of you....it's been corrected now...thanks...
Lovely photos,smalltown rn. I can't imagine not living by the water. We live about 300 yards from delta of the Fraser.
