A relic of days gone by
« on: November 05, 2015, 10:08:09 AM »
I took this photo on Lopez Island (here in Washington State). It is a relic of the old Reef Fishing Fleet of days gone by.



My Uncle worked on one of these old boats when he was about 14 years old. He is now 84. :) I'm printing it out in 8" X 10", matting it and framing it for a Christmas Present for him. :)

Great photo of a very cool place! 

The reef netters are still out there in the summer, just on the left hand side of your photo.  Not sure if there's anything in the water now that would point to the spot, but they still actively work that reef when the fish are moving through.

Thanks guys! :) Here is another photo of one of the old relics. I apologize for the size, for some reason my 600 X 800 dimension when uploaded to huntingphotos.com turns Huge! This was save at the smallest image size they had:
