 KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) - President Bush went fishing on Friday, relaxing with his dad before his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Bush family estate.
"Putin watching" will trump whale watching as the local sport as of Sunday. Taking advantage of the lull before the Russian's arrival, Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, hopped aboard a blue-and-white speedboat with red stripes, to cast their lines along the rocky coast.
Secret Service officers in patrol boats trailed the Bushes as they sped by the shoreline. The president took off his hat and waved to photographers and returned a salute to onlookers on shore. Bush cast his line, hooked with a bait fish, a couple dozen times without luck. Soon after their speedboat, Fidelity III, with the senior Bush at the wheel, motored off so they could try a different angling spot.
