Head out for a long weekend with Bobbie and Rocky.
Left Pine Island marina after some morning rain, the weather was overcast, but the forcast promised 90 degree days ahead.
We were heading to Napatree for the weekend, but stopped off in front of Misqumicut to try for at least one keeper fluke for dinner.
After a few drifts and Bobbie releasing two shorts we manager a keeper for the "Stuffed Fluke" dinner and to Napatree we went.
The next morning we were completely fogged in. Almost needed radar to dingy the dog to shore to use the bathroom!
I really liked this blue herring fly!
We rafted up with The Great Debate, Mystic Pearl, JanieO and Greg in his 28 carver.
Managed to sneak out fluking with Bobbie, Dad, Wes and Greg. A few shorts were caught but no keepers.
We did come across this dead two point buck floating in the water. I have never seen that before!
Bobbie and I fell asleep sunday and woke up around 4:30 to a significant storm warning.
It was too late to run to NewLondon so we tighten out lines to weather the storm!
Please note the small boat in the middle in the picture below.
The seas and wind really picked up!
Press play on the video!
The green sailboat in the picture above drug anchor and got jambed between JanieO and Gregs boat. Greg cut his anchor line and dock lines and drifted away from the sailboat.
The sailboat was then stuck hitting JanieO. Dad cut his anchor line to try to work to minimize damage caused by the sail boat. After a few solid hits between the sailboat and JanieO, along with much fending off the sail boat pasted by.
Here the boat is behind us, unfortunaly Greg was motoring around and got the anchor line stuck in both of his props, killing his motors.
Another anchor line was ran out to him, and once the storm stoped the props untangled.
We all headed home and made if back before sunset!
