#17–Friends

My New Year’s resolution is to spend more time with friends. If I was eloquent, I’d create a heartfelt poem about the value of friends. Instead I’ll sum it up with this: friends keep me sane and happy! Also, with …

#12–The Intrepid

I like to do a  touristy family activity  every year and the Intrepid had been calling. I thought it’d be a hit with the boys. If I remember correctly, that is a nuclear missile. I could be wrong and I’m not …

#5–Fishing in Sheepshead Bay with Corner Media

I got a text late in the afternoon saying there is space on the boat, do I want to join a fishing expedition? Fishing in Brooklyn? On a hot Friday night? With cool people? Yes! Let me figure out babysitting.

Most fish were about this size. Yet, the rumor is that people charter a boat and catch fish for the freezer.

 

Is is ok to eat the fish out of Sheepshead Bay? The New York Department of Health advises women under 50 and children under 15 not to eat fish from in and around New York. There goes my plan of stocking up the freezer.

Not that this would make a meal for more than one person.

 

I’d pay to go out on the boat again, fish or no.  The salt air!

The sunset!

The company!

I love boating on salt water!
