These days on Lake Union the salmon nets are in our thoughts again. Last Wednesday the Virgina V ran over an improperly lit net and had to be towed for repairs. When Ellis and I were rowing that morning we noted that particular net extended very, very far into the lake impeding traffic under the Freeway Bridge. Then on Monday night down near the Locks a large rigid inflatable hit a net at high speed. It reportedly looked like a fighter jet landing on an aircraft carrier and hitting the catch line. Fisticuffs ensued and both tribal and Seattle officers were called.
In other news I was very nearly rammed by a 2 person racing shell this afternoon. I got to use my horn. I love getting to use my horn.
