On Wednesday, I went fishing with Betty, her uncle, her uncle's friend, and Julz. We met up with Uncle Jim at his Taco del Mar in Kirkland. We were about an hour behind schedule, but he still treated us to lunch at his restaurant. We took it to go and gorged ourselves on tacos in the van. He drove us up to Mukilteo and then we got on a ferry to Whidbey Island. To get better fishing spots, Uncle Jim lent us his hip waders (I can't believe I forgot to take pictures!). Betty and Uncle Jim tutored me on the proper salmon fishing technique. I am still an embarassingly novice fisher, but it was super fun. Of course, my fishing pole fell apart and I had to reach into the water for the reel. Consequently, my waders filled up with freezing cold, next-to-Canada water. There was no way to get it out besides stripping down all the way so I had to wait till everyone was done and I could go to the restroom. We also got to see a huge gray whale close to the shore; super majestic. Betty, Julz, and I didn't catch anything so Uncle Jim gave us his fish. We took it back to my place and devoured it. I even got to pull out all the guts :D
