StSo if you're an avid reader of our Past Events blog, you will recall we did not see any jumping live salmon on our Sol Duc Salmon Run Cruise. We did see plenty of salmon swimming in the Rocky Brook ready to do their thing. We saw a few salmon couples swimming in sandy rocky areas looking for a place to deposit eggs and fertilize them. We also saw lots of dead salmon, because if you paid attention in school, salmon die after spawning.
Somehow we lucked out in the weather department again! It was raining where we met up in Discovery Bay, but as we made our way down to Brinnon, the sun came out and stayed out making for a surprisingly pleasant day! We usually eat at the Tides Restaurant on this cruise, but instead, we ate at the Halfway House in Brinnon at the invitation of the owner and fellow VW enthusiast, Justin, for their Oktoberfest event! The food and hospitality was fabulous!
We then headed to Hoodsport to stop at the winery so Francie could stock up. From there we headed back homeward, but first we drove through Pleasant Harbor at the invitation of our newest member, Reeko. It's a beautiful harbor. No wonder they call it pleasant.
As usual, I forgot to take pictures, so the picture credits here go to Nate and the lovely waitress who took our group picture at the Halfway House.
