What a day we had yesterday! With only crew onboard, we started out at 7: 30 a.m. and towed the sandeeling skiff to Plum Island Basin in search of more sandeels. After two sets, it all fell apart--too many wind driven snafus--so we abandoned that project and came back to the dock with hopes for better luck next time....and no wind!
In the afternoon, we loaded up with a dozen kids and parents--and a grandparent!--and went out afterschool in search of flounder. Quite by accident, we started catching mackerel! All switched their gear to mackerel and we finished the day with a very dirty boat and very happy faces.
At night, we filled the boathouse with adults participating in our "Boating on the Merrimack River" class... lots of good conversation and questions! It's always good to see people who who share the waterway wanting to learn best how to do it safely and smartly.
We still have a few spots left all around in a variety of our programs, so give us a call if you'd like to know more!
This weekend the Erica Lee is going fishing...all day deep-sea on Saturday and a half-day bass trip Sunday, a great Father's Day treat!
