Frank and Barbara distributed bluefish fillets that they had caught earlier in the day and Dierdre amazed us with the tale of how she had caught and released a 3-ft. sand shark. There's nothing like the look on a fisherman's face after catching - or even trying - to catch some fish.
Sue had a birthday on Friday and although we couldn't attend, we understand it was quite an affair. There were flowers, of course...
... which we all enjoyed along with munchies and even a cocktail or three.
Tim and Jodi joined us, which is always nice and their daughter Maggie modeled her PFD although she was still engrossed in a TV show aboard her grandparents boat when this picture was taken.
Bob, in the foreground, was happy. We think we just caught him during a thoughtful moment.
We were also joined by another A-dock regular, an Anhinga, who perched on the piling above us, wishing we were serving fish rather than cheese and crackers. By the way, Wikipedia tells us that the Anhinga is also known as the Snakebird, Darter, American Darter or Water Turkey. Just trying to add some facts to this blog, folks. Take note. There may be a test during a future cocktail hour.
Moving on to things more boat related, we've always been bothered by how sloppy the 50-ft. curled water hose looked on our deck. Through the marvel of Google search, we found a nice solution to storing the hose.
Now it's entirely hidden up under the gunwale and can be pulled out easily. You too can have something like this. It's the invention of Rollins Marine Solutions, LLC. This firm is very close by and even does dockside consulting. Ask us and we'll give you their address.
Mid next week, we're off to Greenport where we'll swim at Crescent Beach and enjoy the world's most expensive burgers served by beautiful, partially clothed young women visiting Shelter Island to work for the summer. Listen. Someone has to do it!
