Fishing and beach

Everyone got to sleep in and have a relaxed breakfast. We had plenty of time before our 1pm fishing expedition. Just a short drive to the port before boarding with 60 other passengers and a 1 hour cruise out to Nantucket Sound. We dropped our lines and almost immediately started to pull fish in (mostly Porgy). We also reeled in a few sea robins - horrible looking fish that we were told (almost too late as Jocelyn tried to take one off the hook) had very painful spines that require a visit to urgent care. Fortunately no one got poked. We moved to a second site which was not as well populated and then made the 1 hour trip back to shore. It was a beautiful day and the kids got to see a seal back at the dock. After getting home, we changed into swimming gear and grabbed our inflatable boat for the beach near our house. It was windy but all the kids enjoyed their attempt at rowing. It was a short walk back to the house for showers before spaghetti dinner by Marsh. After a delicious dinner, Grandma Connie got to open her birthday poster and then wr enjoyed the fire pit and made s’mores before bedtime.Read more
