Thrasher Shark

No, not the people that run the marinas in New Jersey but the fish the boaters catch.  We made the 20 mile run to Brielle, New Jersey this morning anbd had the boat in a slip by 1:00.  The owner of the marina took us to the grocery store and Denniese paid $13.99 for a 2 pound container of Maxwell House coffee.  Have we been gone so long that coffee has gone up that much?  Anyway the people here at Hoffmans Marina are real nice.  I changed the oil in the engine and Denniese cleaned the boat.  We leave tomorrow to go into the Atlantic Ocean on our way to Sandy Hook. It will be our first time in the ocean since Key Largo back in March.  I doubt we will have wireless service there but if we do, we will send you a note. After Sandy Hook is the jump to the Hudson River and we get to wave at the Statue Of Liberty as we motor past.  The shark in the picture weighed in at 272 lbs.  The man that caught it said he plans to eat it and it is one of the finest fish around to eat.
