We went fishing last weekend in Fortescue, New Jersey. I found this sailboat weathervane near one of the beaches.

Right around the corner I found another sailboat weather vane, a little worse for wear, the front sail had blown away in the winds off of the bay.

I had several good surprises on our fishing adventure. My husband had called ahead to Higbee’s Bait and Tackle and asked them to hold onto a surf fishing rod I had once admired there. The rod is an early birthday present.

It’s almost twice my size and WONDERFUL! I caught three fish with it. They were small, but one day I hope to post a BIG fish story here. I will share the second surprise later in the week…I’ll give you a hint, it has wings! Thanks to those who took part in last week’s #Weathervaneweds Challenge: ‘This Made Me Smile Today’ for the Buffalo Weather Vane. Also to ‘The 59 Club’ for Flight Training I also have The 59 Club’s permission to include their Weather Vane Video here:

Thanks so much to everyone who takes part in the Weather Vane Wednesday Challenge.
