The day Facebook friends became friends, July 20th,2023

 

Left over French toasts with blueberries, yogurt and maple syrup for breakfast. I'm happy I saved my stale  bread and use it in such a delicious way. 

We went to Coast Guard Beach all morning. Scott watches the boats go by and I watch kids fishing and birds.  

They're doing a good job but had no luck, the fishes did 😀. 

We go to the boat for lunch then go back to meet Debra Baker and her husband.  Scott talked to her  3 years ago on that beach and we are friends on Facebook since then.  Her and her husband have a sailboat in a yatch club in Port Jefferson.  We've been missing them the past 2 years so today it is happening. 


3 years ago John and I were not talkative but today was another story and the conversation was fluent all afternoon.


They told a funny story about a French guy that looks like Jacques Cousteau.  He got tangled with their anchor line, in the middle of the night and dove to fix the mess.


Here we are.  She's a talented artist, she water paints and finds inspiration everywhere. 


She took all these pictures.


John used to race a sailboat and convinced Scott to come here for the race week and maybe volontiring and be part of it some day.


They had a nice shelter for shade.  Spending the day in the sun was hard on my eyes, maybe I should get one of those.


After dinner we went for a drink at Champlin's and the sunset was the color of my rum punch.


Another fantastic day in paradise with wonderful people.

  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...
