Views from the Passage

 "The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, it hates. It weeps.It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that  which you can't." -Christopher Paolini, Eragon.(1983-) (Author)

 Sunrise at the Spit.First Nations have fished here for  time unknown before the coming of the Europeans.
 First written testimony of the excellent fishing was notated in 1896

 The  fishing was so good that it brought others.
