November 19, 2008 ~ BACK AT BODEGA - JASON'S VISIT
We’re back at Bodega Bay and back to our job as assistant managers here at the park. Aside from a few days of rain at the beginning of the month, it’s been beautiful and warm since we’ve been back. However, it seems to be changing, with the last two days shrouded in fog and quite a bit cooler.
The much awaited crab season opened on the 1st and although most feel it’s off to a slow start and may not be a fruitful year, we have been the grateful recipients of lots of crabs along with some rock fish and ling cod, right off the boats. Yummy! Jason came up for a visit last week and we indulged in "everything crab". We had steamed crab with drawn butter, crab cakes, and cioppino, which also included mussels that we got at our favorite tide pool beach, Miwok. Jason and I had fun looking for sea stars and jade stones while Joe collected mussels. Saturday we took a drive out through wine country through the towns of Kenwood, Glen Ellen and Sonoma. We sampled some tasty wines at Sebastiani Vineyards in Sonoma. Jason couldn’t resist picking some grapes off a vine along one of the side roads. Back at home, while taking a drive through the upscale golf community of Bodega Harbour, four wild turkeys approached. Actually, Mr. Tom Turkey charged the car being very protective of his three girls. He was squawking and pecking, grabbing at us and the car.…I was sure he’d do damage to one of us or the vehicle. But really, isn’t he the least bit afraid? After all, it is less than 2 weeks until Thanksgiving! Along with the photos of Jason’s visit, the "Back at Bodega" album features more coast and bay images including crab pots, crab boats and crab fishermen! I seem to be overloading the gallery with Bodega pictures, and I’m sure the next time you check back, there’ll probably be even more!
