Storm brewing. Port Protection Alaska

 



Sam turns back

Signs are not promising

Gulls mostly off the water

Ravens in the bush

Croak out their reprimand

“Gonna be a big one Dummies.

These tall cedars are our

Sanctuary.

Better duck down

Somewhere safe.”


Sam had wanted to

Try out the reconditioned

Evinrude.

Found it at a wrecking yard.

He also was taking a run

For collection of

Halibut on bait lines

Marker buoyed.

Some of those flatfish

Reach 150 pounds!


But not now.

No sense being upset

Old Chap.

Other days coming

And the motor is

Running pretty damn well.

Old set of wrenches did

The job alright.

Thought they were almost garbage.



And old Gary gets the message as well.
