flounder yes but don't remember perch.   We'd go down some rickety wooden steps below my aunts and look for oysters and crabs on the rocky beach.

We had a little 14' Lone Star.   We got caught on the water in one of those afternoon flash storms.   Only time I've thought I was going to die in a boat.   Dad had my brother find a trough at one point and we just went full tilt and ground on a beach on one of the Islands.  It was like glass again in 20 minutes.  That and the swell of submarines going into Bremerton that created really big swells for our small boat made it interesting.
