Appears the power outages where spotty, with our location in port moody without until yesterday sometime.
I spent friday in an attempt to scout, with only one car I took the day off with the plan of taking my wife to work and then going from there. Well, she is a substitute teacher right now and the school she got called to was closed due to power out, so my drop and run, became a return, pick up and a drop off at another school. After fighting traffic I finally got to where I was going at 11, not the 9am I had planned. Some scouting showed me what I was after and I set up for a brief (1 hr hunt) but only got a suntan, talk about wierd, all hell one day, sunday and calm the next...
Our plans originally where to go to washington to hunt with some friends for sea ducks and pintails, and they got the storm way worse then us, but after a bunch of back and forth we went for heat and no power in washington, versus neither in BC. THe saturday hunt was scratched, but I did get out sunday and tried out and aquapod for the first time, one neat little boat that you could easily fall asleep in! With any luck, I'll be adding one to my arsenal for next year.
So between the weather, and the horrible traffic and issues it caused I had an interesting weekend, was is all system normal for everyone else?
Very best,
Ian
