Cleaning Nets

When we pull the nets out of the water, they are stacked into the skiffs. They are then pulled up onto shore and "racked". Corks on one side and leads on the other. We give them a good cleaning with a power washer and our two hands. After the nets are dry, we then start the process of mending them. This means we sew up any rips, tears, holes, etc. in the web.

The bottom two pictures are our trusty helpers!
Just to let you know, I will be putting together some more posts once we get to Seattle. It was getting to be too slow out to camp. I have lots of stories and pictures left to share.
