Last day in Block Island


The plan was to leave Friday then the forecast changed and we were to leave Tuesday (today) then it changed again and we're leaving tomorrow and we are enjoying this perfect day very much.

The plan for today was to go to Coast Guard Beach from 10 to 2 then go to Champlin's for the weigh in of the fishing tournament. 







It was just a perfect day, warm but not humid.  Kim was to come even if it was just for one day but she's very happy that we're staying today.


A Canadian boat.


Our beautiful neighbor is leaving.


Scott changed his mind and decided to go to Sotch Beach.   He dropped Kim and I at Champlin's and we saw some tuna fishes.


Pole Locked is a boat from our marina.  They won 17 000$ with the third place for the mahi category last year.  When I sent those pictures to Scott he said "Dawn I regret now but I'm having a good time boogie boarding. Go Pole locked!".




That's not them anymore and it's a tuna.






Beautiful fish




That's a sword fish.


I don't know why they cut its head before weighing. 

Kim noticed people with a box of t-shirts, they were talking about having extras so she asked for some and they gave one to each of us.  Thanks Kim!

Then we went to the pool for a dip and a drink.


Back at Boat Basin there were some tuna too.




Our neighbor had of full, heavy bag of fish. They washed the boat earlier and sprayed us a little.  They apologized for it, Kim just wanted to tell that "thats ok, keep on going and let me looking at you and I'm fine 😆".

For dinner we snacked on the boat then Kim and I shared a sushi roll and a drink at the Oar (31$).

Then the sky was covered with threatening clouds and we thought there would no red tonight to delight mariners, then



We should have a delightful ride back 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
