A very early start

  A VERY EARLY START  July 20, 2026 Scott wakes up at 3:15 am, feeds the puggy. Immer says "ugh!? Food in the dark!? Ok. That works for me".  He does his business, back to bed and off we go. And here they are. In queue. The big ones The small ones. They all get in line outside the Great Salt Pond. Scott arrives 2 minutes in advance.  He sits comfortably and wait. And off they go. Our walk there was brisk,  our way back is leisure.  Framed pictures Beautiful Grand Banks Snowy egret There's a rooster there, can you see it? I try to take a video of his cockadoddledoo but I keep on missing it  That's how we look like after an hour and a half walking. At the marina, Scott asks to turn around and get closer to the end of the dock when his favorite spot is available.  They are always happy to help.  Travis catches the long line Scott throws to him on the dinghy dock and another here plus the two Scotts. They turn it in place then walks it pass our n...

Scott's favorite day of the year

Image
  SCOTT'S FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR July 19, 2026 Block Island  Scott sees white caps out there... I don't.... Do you? Anyway he worries about the fishing tournament participants that are coming today. We go to the Oar for an early lunch, before the crowd.   I have sushi, Scott blackened chicken sandwich. The puggy is obnoxious. Like Scott likes to say 'When it comes to food he's rude". Well the goal is tiring him down so we can leave him on the boat, quiet while we go to Coast Guard Beach to watch the "parade of big fisher boats coming in. We watch those 2 boys practicing their skills on that board. We had such a good time chatting with Scott and Alison (dock mates from Chester that we met last year) that we forgot to take pictures.  Another visit to the Oar with an obnoxious pug. We end up just getting a mule and have turkey sandwich on the boat. We're tired and wants to get up at 3:30 to watch the departure of the tournament boats.  Goodnight!

Saturday July 18, 2026. Block Island

Image
  SATURDAY JULY 18, 2026 BLOCK ISLAND  Safe travel Tim, Marisa and Mike. Safe travel Chris and Donna ( our Deep River dock mates) Picture from Tim leaving Block Island.  Arriving at the Housatonic River, his home port. It rains a lot from 2 pm. We sleep, we play Uno, we talk about walking to the grocery store when the rain stops for a while then coming back by taxi. After saying several times "There will be a window in 15 minutes", we decide to call a cab. We ride in that window and come back walking.  We get caught in the rain at the marina (and we like Pina colada 🎶 😀)  Turkey sandwiches and raw string beans from our garden for dinner.  They're still fresh and snappy, crunchy.  It rains hard, there's lightning and thunder far behind. We'll sleep well in the drumming sound of the rain. Good night!

The day Marisa catches a makerel

Image
THE DAY MARISA CATHES A MAKEREL July 17, 2016 Block Island  What a beautiful fish, the picture doesn't give it justice. Its irradiant green and pink match Marisa's outfit. I think it's a nice meal but everyone else think it's a nice bait.  American point of view versus my Canadian one 😀. Everything is bigger in United States.  Marisa thanks the fish and hopes for a shark now. Well something bites hard but snaps the line.  The fish wins this time around.  We went to Coast Guard Beach by dighny,  Tim paddles. Scott and I walk to Charleston Beach. Montauk is there, somewhere  Mike, Tim and Marisa throwing the whistle ball.  Scott is afraid to reinjured his shoulder me... my pride 😆. We go swimming though with the thousands of minnows. No wonder there's makerels, seals, stingrays, sharks and whales. Back at the marina, Marisa catches 4 squids and 1 makerel. Tim took a picture of us. Thanks buddy!  I had a good day but allergies hit me hard in l...
