We got all set up this morning to go fishing with Phil, Mary and Jake in their boat down the Kenai River. It sprinkled off and on all day and the wind made it rather chilly. We stopped along the way and Phil made chicken fajitas on the grill in a nice protected spot alongside the river that he knew about. They were so good. Phil caught two Dolly Vardens and released them but Jim didn't catch anything. The salmon had not made it that far up the river yet and no one was catching any. We floated until around 5:00 and then went back to camp. We had a great time and the scenery was marvelous and we saw about seven bald eagles. Some fishermen shouted from the shore to be on the lookout for a grizly but we didn't see him. It was just about the place we saw two bears last time he took us down the river four years ago. The boat ramp was so crowded with people trying to get out that the whole shore was taken up and more still on the river coming. When we got to camp Phil started the fire again and his friend Hyatt came to camp. Phil grilled fillet mignon steaks for us and put potatoes in the fire to bake. I made a Nutter Butter Trifle.
