January 21 - Canning fish

Started out the day going to J.E.E.P and helping to haul sand to the stalls, clean cat kennels, etc.  Then I had just gotten out of the shower and our neighbour came up the hill from town, very upset, as a pit bull had grabbed her dog by the leg.  Cam and I loaded them both into the car and headed for the vet.  Luckily there were only 4 punctures on the front leg and no permanent injury.  I think our poor neighbour was closer to being in shock than her poodle.  The poodle is also a very passive dog and didn't fight back.  The owners of the other dog came out immediately and dragged it away.

We got back just as our other neighbours were unloading a 160 lb Marlin from their little boat.




We were given two large thick steaks.

Surprisingly, quite a few people in the park bring pressure cookers and can the fish here.  They were canning Wahoo and Marlin today.  Some of the Marlin will also be smoked.
