Falling in love with Napatree all over again

 FALLING IN LOVE WITH NAPATREE ALL OVER AGAIN,  9/4/2022

Another walk this morning, in town.  Scott got us coffee where there was no line, I love this coach house.

Cannot help to admire that ceiling.



We walked by this sign many times but never read further than the first line.  Thanks to Maureen we know now that walkers are welcome.  We kept going up though to the Ocean House, the only 5 diamonds resort in Rhode Island. Beautiful building on a wonderful location. The view is probably awesome in any room.



We turned around and walked to the lighthouse again.  Enjoyed our coffee and soaked up the salty air and the surrounding beauty.



The beach where we like to swim, walk and relax.


Panoramic view.

On our dinghy ride back I watch boats. 


Pink boat


Love those classic boats.


Our raft.


Matt trying Bob's new paddle board.


Scott needed some push to try it. He had trouble in the beginning but then got comfortable pretty fast.


Talk about comfort.  We are sold and want one, maybe two.


Our dream boat is a tug but after hanging on Matt and Maureen's third story of their "Knot tied up", I have to admit, it is nice.


And the view is awesome. 

Everybody left and we stayed all alone.  We took a walk on the beach, all the way to the very point.


It looks that there used to be a pier there.  I know that Napatree point was separated from Sandy point in 1938 by a hurricane.  So that deconstructed rope is very old and the sea spent a lot of time making art with it.


I like drift wood.


Back on the boat we had dinner, chili for Scott, pulled chicken for me.


The sunset is shyly red and silent.  Red at night, mariner delight...  There's a little bit of red.... right?!


We don't really see on the picture but the red reflects on the houses' windows... there's definitely some red.  We should have a delightful ride home tomorrow.

Essex Island May 2024

 First weekend of the season May 12, 2024 Our clean boat, she looks good for her age 😀.  What's better than a lap? Two laps... pug life. He used to be so frenzy when alone in the boat while we untie the lines.  He is pretty mellow now. We love our slip, behind the island.  Canadian geese are so much more approachable in the US than in Canada.   Our second weekend  May 26 Foggy morning Laisser le bon temps roulé. Our neighbor took a picture of Scott taking a picture of Immer, oh boy what a star he is 😆. His name is Harry, their dog is Lucy (a cavalier King Charles) .  We don't know the name of the lady.  They like us... well they like Immer. Enjoying the scenery. May 27, 2024 Tranquil morning We want to leave before the rain.   Well it starts to rain lightly as we leave but it stops soon after. Who can afford a windmill as a decoration for their riverfront yard... they can. They wanted to pay tribute to the real one that used to be there, I read in a magazine.   I remember the

Side by side with SeaTow

  Captain Ben of Sea Tow Eastern Connecticut comes to the rescue at 9:16. Side by side, that's how they get boats out of a slip.  It makes sense but I never realized that. It's gonna be a long ride back. Well it's actually pretty relaxing. The sound is so calm. We cannot help to recall our 2 friends John and Toolman who were towed from Sag Harbor in rough seas.  So rough that the line snapped. John had to hook another one.  He couldn't walk on the bow so he went through the top hatch.  How scary!  Our adventure is way more mellow.  We are listening to our favorite music, Stephen Kellog and enjoying the view. So nice! So pretty! Even  New London is calm, New London is always choppy. We can see Long Island. Captain Ben is letting us go now In Hatchett Reef Captain Tom of Sea Tow Central Connecticut is taking us over. I guess it is a little suspicious asking to be rescue from a slip.  Scott was told that there's a limit of 25 miles.  But after talking to us, Captain To

Day 7

DAY 7 ON THE ISLAND,   July 20, 2024 Block Island  Scott wakes up a 3:30.  When he sees me moving he proposes a walk to Rodman Hollow which was our plan yesterday.   I said "I need a shower".  Scott:"yeah!".Good thing we did because soon after they shutt off the water for some digging.  After his too short night Scott gives up on the hike and goes back to sleep (night workers understand that).  I go to the Farmer's Market and get blueberries, lettuce and cucumbers. When Scott wakes up he goes and gets coffee. Then I make a sandwich for me and a wrap for Scott and we go to Coast Guard Beach. We stay there 6h.   Boats are coming in all day long. Scott finishes reading his book so I can read it. We walk pass the channel and look west at the open ocean in the direction of Montauk. We're thinking of going soon, it's not very far.  We can't see it though.   Seeing the seaweed I recall learning during the nature walk that they are a hiding place for many se
