Lumberyard Salmon

Arrived Thursday afternoon. It was a beautiful ride out from the Marina. Very warm and next to no wind.
Yesterday was warm but cloudy and some rain. 
This morning its cloudy again, windy from the NE but its supposed to clear up by this afternoon.

Found a good use for some left over lumber from the dock.



Cedar plank salmon. 
Despite numerous "experts" on the internet, warning against the use of lumberyard cedar for this purpose I decided that cedar is cedar, and paying several times more for it at a grocery store won't change that.
Boy was I wrong!!!!!................................Just kidding, they tasted great.  
Darlene insisted we do only half  the salmon on the planks and the other half in a frying pan, in the off chance that I should ruin dinner with the cheap lumber. Both had the same maple glaze.
We were then able to compare the two. The cedar added a very subtle flavour to the salmon.
Will definitely be doing this again, we have lots of scrap cedar pieces, which I will soon be removing from the firewood pile.

The water levels are down several inches with the off shore wind today. If it goes down a bit more I should be able to drill the last anchor hole for the dock. The place I have to drill has been too far under water to drill the hole.
