A day at Essex Island with Mike Chevalier and their yatch club

 


It's so hot, we just want the shade




Nature is giving the show





We're so grateful for our life.  What a great 2 weeks vacation we just had!

Fourth of July, 2025

FOURTH OF JULY, 2025  Port Jefferson, NY We slept in Shelton last night, leave early this morning and are in the Sound at 8:13. There's a little ripple in the beginning then it got a little uncomfortable but not bad at all. At 8:40 we enter the channel of Conscious Bay.  We tie up to Priority and get to know Sue more (Daisie's mom).  We find in her a great listener to our dog stories and so she does with us.  We decide that we are like family now. ❤️  Dinghy ride on land  for a walk with the boy Our boat is somewhere in the bay. We bring our chairs for the Pootatuck fireworks tonight. Relaxing is in order now, the weather is perfect. Yesterday there was a big storm and that katamaran dragged with the mooring... how scary. Mike and Scott work hard to blow a deck and a pool. How about that! What a set up! Sue and Mike have a lot of friends and a lot of them stopped by for a visit by boat or by dinghy. Others just wave and exchange some jokes  Heather fin...

  A BLESSED DAY IN P.J.! Port Jefferson by ferry August 24, 2025 Today is the big day we have been waiting for all week. We are going  sailing on our friends' boat "Lively up".  Scott is so excited. 7:45 we are at Bridgeport Ferry Terminal, waiting for the ferry to arrive. Here it comes. Here's  the captain backing up the ship. Scott tells me that's where we were supposed to come for the Counting Crows concert.  At 9:11 we starting to see the Port Jeff landmark. The two towers. Here's a higher perspective of Conscience Bay where we were on Fourth of July.  That could be us... so little.... actually we are even littler. "Lively Up" is somewhere in there. That's where we land when we come with the digny from Conscience Bay.  When we arrived at 9:45, John and Debra are at the terminal, waiting for us. We're having brunch at  Joey Z's, it's delicious and the service is excellent. Scott really enjoys his chicken  parm with lemon pepper pot...

July 25th 2025 in Block Island

  JULY 25TH 2025 ON BLOCK ISLAND Scott wakes up early feed the boy, takes him out and off we go to dinghy beach. 6:45 we are on Scotch Beach. Scott thinks of going in. I'm not. I'm cold. First we walk to Fred Benson Town Beach till it gets rocky, right before Baby Beach. There's a swimmer out there but the photo doesn't show it. He's going in. I regret not having my bathing suit on.  The Great Salt Pond is dark and moody. The ride back will be an adventure.  ... Well it was not that bad. At 4:30 pm there's electricity in the air. Everybody is getting ready for the storm. Does the puggy care? Nope, it's almost supper time. It's coming baby! Do I care?  Nope. I'm enjoying an expresso martini (thanks to Mel) while watching the show.  Twelve minutes later everyone is out and about again. Black bean and corn salsa for dinner. The fresh corn from the Farmer's Market is disappointing.  The calm after the storm.
