As we are just past the West End
A fisherman catches a halibut of
about 100 pounds and then leads on.
I prefer to say that he once got one that was
9'3" long, 16" thick, and weighed a little
more than 500 pounds.
The wind is so light that it has taken
me home to go to West End Lagoon.
All the way from English Bay to June-
Town Cliff the top of the island as one goes plain,
About one mile east of Junction Cliff the land
is probably 50-70 feet higher and then it slopes
away again to the former level towards Cape
Henry. Best of Junction Cliff is a large cave =
Strawberry Cove
The reef jutting out from Cape Henry ex-
tends three miles and it is curious and alarm-
ing to see the waves roll landward or
far out to sea. For hours we saw this
Cape and do not seem to fit ocean.
