1. Caught a racoon in our headlamps one night as he started to reach into the hatches of our double. Like an escapee caught in the searchlights, he simply adopted an innocent "Who - me?" expression. 2. (Self inflicted). A decade ago in the Queen Charlottes, I caught a rockfish. I coshed him with a stick, and having nowhere on deck to store him, I popped my sprayskirt and dropped him below decks. Returning to camp involved running some small surf. As I braced sideways on a wave, my dinner guest decided he wasn't quite dead, and splayed his needles into my inner legs. It's hard to concentrate on the finer points of bracing while being tattoed on the thighs!
