The Gunship Rolls.... Soon

17-July 2018
Avon NC

Extensive upgrades to the Gunship are complete.’
The air conditioner was fixed.
A new wheel bearing is in place
We got a JetBoil stove to make coffee.
An ac inverter was installed off the house battery....

Who cares???

The gunship(and its intrepid crew of Captain Bob and Miss Sciency) are readying for the latest mission.

Another trek to the west, with a  far target of British Columbia somewhere above Vancouver.
Where the smelt live.

Some might opine this trip smells a lot like the award winning “Looky Looky for the Halibuti” run completed a year ago. But they are very Very different.

Smelt are very small fish.
You need many of them to provide an adequate dinner.
Some people eat the heads.
Halibut are very large fish.
One halibut can feed a Boy Scout troop.
Almost no one eats the head. I’m guessing some people use it for soup.

Anyway, Here is a smelt





Here is a flock of smelt.   That’s what a school of smelt on a stick is called.... Really.... no I made that up.


So, that’s the goal... Nothing more ... nothing less

One must learn to set expectations appropriately..

More to come
