Red Sky at Night, Sailor's Delight?

MY ASS!

This was last night............


To see current conditions, click on the "Jackster's Surf Cam" link to the right. You can even pan and tilt the view.

We are expecting hurricane force winds, a big storm surge and huge waves. High tide ~7:20pm but it will be dark then.

If the Surf Cam goes down, send rum!

Jimmy Buffett 2007 - Fins to Foxboro

The Tailgate Gang, 3 grills and a full barJack and Chuck. They're straight. No, really.
Terri, who never drinks blue drinks or tequila. Wait, what's this?
Patty being Patty. Snort.

Yet another great concert by Jimmy but 58,000 fans at Gillette Stadium makes me long for the good old days, circa 1984, at Great Woods when tickets for center stage 3rd row were cheap and easy to get. There were no lines for nothin', Fingers Taylor led the Coral Reefers with his harmonica and tailgating was wild west. I blame myself in part. After my first show I told all my friends and colleagues "Hey, you got to see this guy Buffett". Well, seems they all told some friends too.

First Cast

Remember that scene from Caddyshack where Bishop Bickering was shooting a near perfect game of golf during a thunderstorm?

Well, last week I rowed out to my mooring on a real nice, calm day. Put a chunk of bait on the hook, cast it out and before I could lay down some chum, WHIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, fish on the line. 28 1/4" Striper (honest, I didn't stretch him). Keeper fish in 30 seconds.

Just waiting for the lightning to strike me ;)

Late July

Powergliders are back......................



Brant Rock fire sky...........................

Independence Week

I like 4th of July on Wednesday. We get a whole week celebration instead of just a long weekend.

The whole Marshfield coast, from Humarock to Green Harbor lights up for 2 hours.....


The mighty Rum Balls, with the great Seahawk 200 in tow, took us on a scenic voyage up the North River to Couch Beach.....


We celebrated Sam's 11th birthday in style.....with tunafish and tapioca pudding.....


Caught a 32" striper in the back yard. Shown here with supermodel Danielle.....


.....and got to moon the Goodyear Blimp.

Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett - 1973

Featuring his girlfriend, now wife, Jane, his Boston Whaler (his boats are a little bigger now ;)) and his POS pickup truck, the "Conch Cruiser" aka "God's Own Truck". Enjoy.
