Ticks all the boxes … great episode!

[@CruisingMaya]

Thanks so much!!!

[@markbuskens6070]

Good job on the salmon catch,that filet size and color was unreal!!Man line in the prop 🙁is bad,good thing the water was good enough to see what you’re doing under there. Bet that water was cold too!And more crabs to eat, talk about living off the sea 👍

[@CruisingMaya]

Glad you enjoyed the video! We appreciate your comment and you watching!

[@maureenmeyer6894]

This is so out of my box, that I truly love living your life vicariously. Good thing Jenny is a pharmacist for properly mixing! Beautifully filmed country! Keep us on the Cruising Maya list!

[@CruisingMaya]

Thank you for watching! There's lots more to share on this trip so stay tuned!

[@patriotofgod9827]

@@CruisingMaya Great way to exist. Shouldn't you be wearing masks so as not to infect your viewers?

[@MrGotropic]

You guys are Hilarious and Lucky,... Nice job catching that Spring with that Tropical Fishing Lure !

[@CruisingMaya]

Luck definitely played a role in our fishing game! Thanks for watching!

Just a fish cleaning tip Cut the fish along the bottom. Clean out the intestines first then cut off the back bone. Took a chance by cutting the top of the salmon. If you puncture the stomach or intestines by mistake you could ruin the meat. Hope you guys are staying safe amid the coronavirus pandemic. Not sure if I am going to meet my goal of sailing in the next few years. I need a hip replacement and my son might have cancer. He is a rock right now. Another great video!! Keep em coming please!!

[@CruisingMaya]

Great tip! We will use that moving forward. We are safe here in Washington, hunkered down on the boat. It's giving us lots of time to work on new videos, so that's a silver lining to this whole situation. We are hoping to get back to Barkley Sound this summer, but who knows when the border will open back up. Sorry to hear about your medical stuff- stay safe and we very much appreciate your comments and viewership!

How amazing! We loved being a part of your adventure! Can’t wait to see more.

[@CruisingMaya]

We're so happy to bring you with on our journey. Thanks for watching!

[@nancyernst474]

Great video guys, that salmon was amazing! Good job! Beautiful places and coves. Keep up the good work and fun videos, we’re on your team!

[@CruisingMaya]

Thanks so much! It was so thrilling hauling that salmon in! Stay tuned for the next few episodes, because the fish get BIGGER!

[@BlakeJohnson1]

That’s PNW dream fishing day IMO - monster salmon in the morning, use the carcass to get Dungeness in the afternoon. Amazing. Hopefully can pull something like that off this summer!

[@CruisingMaya]

It was a day to remember! The West Coast of Van Isle is something special to be sure. It's a seafood feast out there!

[@BooksNBeaches]

That is an amazing hat!!

[@CruisingMaya]

I can't believe it took us so long to realize that! haha!

[@edhowe6443]

Another cool video. Loved the hat. Hahaha!

[@CruisingMaya]

Glad you enjoyed! Still lots more to come on this trip so stay tuned. Thanks again!

[@karenrogers6132]

Nice Salmon!

[@CruisingMaya]

Thank you it was delicious! Somehow we didn't take any video of the salmon feast... doh!

[@divingpowellriver]

Nice fish🙂

[@CruisingMaya]

Thank you! The next few episodes will have a lot more fish so stay tuned :-)

[@josephlai9759]

Great catch. Any humane dispatch method you can share?

[@CruisingMaya]

Thanks! We tend to dispatch fish with a bludgeon to the head with the end of an oar.... not elegant but you can tell it does the job quickly. I've heard of people pouring alcohol in fish gills... might be worth a try!

[@patriotofgod9827]

Sally fields fish filets.

[@tomfraley1431]

Definitely need a bigger dodger!

[@CruisingMaya]

Absolutely! So. Much. Rain.

[@edcates8944]

everything on a boat should have two purposes

[@CruisingMaya]

That's right! And you can't have too many hats! Thanks for commenting!
