Took our new Yacht out on the water today. Just got to figure out how I'm going to fish off this one. I should have bought the next size up.



LOL Wishful thinking. This Yacht passed us today while we were out fishing. Check out the Helicopter and boat. Must be nice.... I googled this yacht and found out a few things. 193 ft long, bought for 22 million, owned by a California woman who donated millions to help free "Willy" the killer whale. Oh, and she is single......

Very good day of fishing yesterday. Went out on the boat again off of Niantic and Watchhill, RI with Jonathan, my brother Adam, Guy Beacom, and Andres Foresberg. Everybody caught fish of course. I think the count was 25 fish total. Jonathan was catching Porgies and a few bluefish on his own. Very impressive for a soon to be 11 yr old. He was also a good help netting the fish we were catching. A good day on the water with a sun burn to prove it.

Okay, I'm tired of all this rain. Good end to the summer. Another few days away from home with the family. We went to Rhode Island this past week to catch some sun on the beach and relax. Not a whole lot of sun though. Kids had fun. Jonathan and I went night fishing in the middle of storm Danny in our pursuit of Striped bass. Nice time out on the Jetty with my boy. Jonathan did well trying to bait our live eels. No fish to talk about for us. A guy about 100 ft from us caught a nice 30" bass, and a good size bluefish on eels. But we were not crazy enough to go out that far with waves 6 to 8 ft crashing near him. Good time though. We are boat bound next weekend so we will be bringing back fish or stopping for fresh lobster. Our campground was quite the resort. Kids had a blast on the water slides. Julia is the bravest 3 yr old I know. She kept going and going down the water slide totally fearless. Of course dad was always there to catch her. Good weekend besides the rain. Janel took some good photos. Enjoy the pics......

Attack of the finger food. Julia was just too funny tonight at dinner. She likes when mom paints her finger nails. So she decided to decorate her nails with ketchup. She makes us laugh.

Family has been busy lately. We recently went camping in New Hampshire. We went to Swanzey Lake for a mini vacation. Great weather and the kids were well behaved. Kids went kayaking with mom and dad. They had a good time. Jillian and Julia had a good time swimming out to the raft. Water was so clear. Picture perfect!!!
