A full Block Island day

Image
  A FULL BLOCK ISLAND DAY July 15 2026 We wake up at 5 as usual, take the pugger for a walk at Champlin's. He is not happy about that but he has no choice 😆. Sun rise is always a treat to the eye. Then we go to Payne's.  Immer agrees with that because there's food there. I share my delicious breakfast sandwich with him There we see a yacht named  SKYFALL . I research it and find out that it is 190f. long and it is for sale for 24 millions. It can accommodate 14 guests and 14 crew members. You can charter it for 290,000$ for a week.  We see only one person on it. Now that the puggy is tired, we're going to Scotch Beach.  On our way to dinghy beach we notice our dock mates Chris and Donna are there. We stop by to say Hello. On the other side of Corn Neck road the water is refreshing.  Scott is in his glory. I sheepishly go in one step at a time.  We walk pass the town beach then turn around.  For years and years I've been too shy to do yoga in publ...

Puggy doesn't care  "Grand booat, Grand booat take us to Block Island" 🎶 🎵  From Mystic we head south across Fishers Island Sound then east and to Watch Hill pass to Block Island sound. Except for some chop from the incoming tide at Watch Hill pass we have a good ride. Pretty sights Furthermore on the yellow brick road. Do you see what I see?

Captain is excited  The puggy not so much.  He turned his back on daddy when putting his life jacket on 😆  Me, I'm groggy but happy. Smooth  Look at him now, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the fresh air. Following the yellow brick road We think there's a submarine  What do you think? We arrive at the mouth of Mystic River at 7:50 Feeling good. Our neighbor across the dock was a beautiful Ranger tug named LIBERTY.  Off course chatted with them.  The captain is Brian Duperre.  He is a musician, his band is FIRETOWN ROAD.  His parents are from New Brunswick.  I am happy to have a French conversation with him. Karaoke at Harp and  Hound.  Tim sings 'Thorn in my pride". Tim signs up for a duet with his sister without her consent. She was shy but she did good. The whole crowd sang BOHEMIA...
