  SMOOTH RIDE FROM PILOT POINT TO BRANFORD June 25, 2026 We leave our slip at 7:52. Here's a boat like us. They made some improvements we'd like to talk to them about.  Captain decides to pass North side of Duck Island. There's a lot of rocks around here, we have to be careful.  Bye bye Westbrook, see you next time. So smooth We enter Branford River at 8:50. Look at that castle. We're at the marina at 9:06 We had dinner at Guacamole's with Tom. Tom and I enjoyed our fish tacos. The fish is mahi-mahi and it's so juicy and succulent.  Scott enjoyed his beef quesadilla and his peach margaritas.... well he said it was not strong enough. We had dinner at the restaurant here at the marina with Ron and Linda.  I forgot to take pictures. I enjoyed my Cesar salad with broiled salmon very much and Scott his chicken parm. We went for a boat ride on the river with Ron.  He appreciated to see Branford, where he works, from the river. Here's better pictures of the castle...

Labor Day weekend with Tim's crew and Jim and Mel

  Labor Day weekend with Tim's crew and Jim and Mel Mystic, 8/30/2025 At 12:20 we are at the 95 bridge.  That's late for us. It was too windy this morning.   We're tired. The wind is subsiding now. We're still tired but we really want to join Tim's crew, that means that Payton and Marisa are there. He has a longer ride to do from Shelton but he didn't work yesterday. A new train bridge is getting built.  We're leaving the Connecticut River and plenty are coming. There's so much more traffic than our usual travel time. Tim is at the marina next door to us, Glenmore Marina. It is a short walk to get there.  And it is a pretty one. There's cute small houses on one side and a salt marsh on the other.  And that guy seems used to people. I came not as well organized than usual.  When we were settled I was hungry and didn't know what to eat.  Tim offered hot dogs.  That was nice!  Thank you Tim! We love our slip, it's at the end of E dock....
