Pretty skies

PRETTY SKIES
July 21, 2024
Block Island


When I see the sky like this I believe a little more in God.  My cousin Annie and I decide that it is our gone loved ones taking a peek at us below 😀. Hi Dad! 

At 7:45 we walk to the grocery store for charcoal and beer. Well they cannot sell alcohol before 10. So we brought the charcoal and a few other things to the boat.  At 9:30 Scott goes back and I make lunch.  We spent the rest of the day on Coast Guard Beach. 





 Those saiboats amaze me in that narrow channel.


That boat came out of nowhere.  The guys beached the boat, went to take a pee in the bushes.  Talk about their boat to curious passerbys and went back out.


For a while we thought they were sinking then just like that they were gone zigzaging gayly.


New Harbor is busy, all three marinas are packed with giant sport fishing boats.  The dinghy dock is so tight.  We had trouble to find a spot and there's not an inch free next to our boat. Thank God someone help us.  We throw him our line he ties it on a cleat (not the right way but that's ok) and we climb on another dinghy to get out. Scott lost the key of the dinghy in the water in the process.  He hopes to retrieve it at low tide. Thankfully my captain is foreseeing and has a spare one.  He has a spare of pretty much everything. 


There's a line for the launch all day.  Scott chatt with someday from one dock to the other.  He said he is on a sailboat and came to get beer but the store closed at 6.  Scott offered him 2 😆,  that's my husband.


I missed the sunset and disappointed that the full moon is not there.

Come on pretty, don't be shy,  show yourself.






 


Thank you!

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...

What a first day of vacation!

  WHAT A FIRST DAY OF VACATION! June 21 2025, Branford  We're leaving Deep River at 6:50. It is a perfect day. Sunny and calm, the way  we love them. Our puggy is with us. He's been without a lap for 15minutes while launching.  He's so happy now. Two laps is better than one though 😀. All is perfect until it's not. Less than an hour later we're almost motionless, drifting a little out and north. The serpentin  belt fell off again. Well we are on vacation therefore relax and that's how we are handling it.  We'll get towed to our destination and  take care of it there.   I'm actually impressed with the coolness of Scott.   Forty five minutes later. Captain Bill comes to the rescue from Old Saybrook, the Central Connecticut SeaTow franchise. It's still a perfect day and a perfect ride. We are cruising to Branford at a Nordic Tug speed (our dream) and hopefully Grand Boat will be fixed for good by Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Safe Ha...
