    I know. Dirty job but some ones got to do it.
    I was invited on this trip last minute and couldn't refuse the offer. I am very fortunate to be able to take advantage of opportunities like this.

    Blanket Bay. Yeah. Drop off point for the crays. The Island has fresh water on tap piped across from Secretary Island.

    So be it

    This is big. If I was in SI, I would like to trade for the head, bladder, spine and liver with ammo or something else.
