Farmers Markets begin in Wet Weather

Our first several farmers markets have seen wet weather deterring only a few customers.
As we approach the summer solstice, the weather will become more stable and the summer heat will set in by July. As for our vessel Papa George, and weary skipper, the June season in the Channel Islands, CA., is slim on squid and long on very awful weather. Steve reported from Rhodes Reef last week as the gusts hit 45 knots and the squid hugged a rugged bottom not willing to come up to a catchable depth. The crew was making sets of 2-6 tons. Soon it will be time to move north to the Columbia River for the summer sardine season off of Washington.
