Took a lay day…
…and it was probably a good move with Hurricane Bill racing up the coast creating quite a stir in the last stretch of summer flounder season in NJ. I had originally planned a BBQ on Saturday for the Admiral’s birthday but postponed it till Sunday due to the potential of bad weather.
The party was a good success, we had hot dogs, burgers, chicken and ribs with all the trimmings. Ribs were slow cooked for three hours in a special marinate and then finished off on the grill for a nice charring with homemade BBQ sauce. Oh did I mention all sorts of imported beer, margarita’s and mojito’s? MMMMM!
This weekend we are supposed to head up to the Boston area and head out to Stellwagon Bank for giant cod, pollock and haddock. Right now the weather doesn’t look good and the weather at home this weekend is no peach either.
