Last weekend me and the wife had our “date night” and we went to the Folk festival in Newport. This weekend was the Jazz Festival, and it went a little different. ;)
Me and worse mate started the day off fluke fishing in search of the elusive 10+lbr that we just couldn’t find.but we did end up finding a bunch of her little sisters.

A few fish for the cooler

Then we head in to pick up the wives and head over to the Jazz Festival for some rest and relaxation. ;D ;)

THis thing was built in 1937 (I know because he told me about 37 times ;D and has no steering weel, just to rudders, front and back and slow leek (bilge was running the whole time :o

The wives sat on the bow,

Show ended around 7 and we had to head back out front to get to were the boat is moored, a little bit of a ruff ride but we (me and worse mate) luck out as we ran into a few sunset Blue Fish blitz’s to end the day with a little more fishing
