I just joined a Community Supported Fishery. Skipper Otto will be hunting Sockeye on my behalf these next few months.

Stoked.

post-election hats

Posted on May 21, 2013 by kaan

Today I went shopping with Doug for a new post-election hat; a fine tradition if I ever heard of one.

I think Doug is practising for family portraits. This is what it would have looked like if he were at Pitt Lake with us this weekend.

The bloom at the end

Tonight I leave Haida Gwaii.

The full thrust of spring has most plants pushing new shoots or offering flowers and berries.

The hemlock is no exception.

When my mum was visiting she expressed curiosity that the Haida eat the pith of the tree as she was under the impression hemlock was also used as a poison. I had a memory of something similar and offered a vague response in the affirmative. Before leaving I found a better answer for her.

The berries of the hemlock are very poisonous.

Yesterday at low tide we went searching for crabs in the shallows. Tess got suited up and mingled with the wild beasts.

She found five crabs. We kept the three males. They made for a fantastic lunch feast!

abuse

I returned home from the kayak trip to find this waiting for me – a gift from Sarah and Miki. They are now off the islands and probably consider themselves too distant to suffer a reprisal. Miki probably considers herself innocent. I consider her an accomplice.

For those that don’t know what this means, ask about it when I see you next and I shall do my best to bring you up to speed.
