FRENCH LESSON 

June 26th, 2025, Branford 

The day started with a late breakfast for me and an early lunch for Scott at Little Riggs. No picture i didn't bring my phone.


We took a picture at Guacamole's though, while walking by.  Scott really liked his margaritas and quesadilla there the other day. 


When life sends you a lemon you make lemonade and when it sends a toothache after a root canal treatment you call the ododontist and you get your prescription by dinghy then by foot. Thank God for technology. 

There's a lot of boats with French name so let's have a French lesson Scott  😉 and whoever wants to play 😀. 



First we dock at Stoney Creek and the owner or manager kindly agrees for us to leave our dighny there and directs us to CVS and even lets the door unlocked for when we'll come back.  The brewery is not open yet, how nice! 

That cuts our walk in half, half and hour instead of one hour.  And its on a sidewalk all the way.  It's good to be active today after lazy yesterday.

Here comes the lesson : 


We start with an easy one.

Déjà vu

Means "already seen"


That's not French I just think it is original. Je n'ai 
Jamais vu 😉 .  
(Never seen ). 
There's always opportunities to learn 😀.
The name of the boat is 
Blood Vessel.



ENSEMBLE

Together 


Raison d’être 

Reason to be


L'arche de Noé 

Noah's ark


Let's have a look outside the window and observe this  

Oiseau 

🐦 
Bird


And this beautiful 🌳 tree 

Arbre

As you can tell I'm a teacher at ❤️ 24/7 😀. 

Back to the boat Immer plays the independent and don't budge when I come in... well it doesn't last long enough for me to take a picture 😆.


Yeah right! You're such an independent puggy.


 As promise Mike shows up at 5.


And 2 hours later the new belt and the tensioner are in place.  Thank you so so so much Mike!

We're up and running.

Today was an active and productive day.

Good night!

  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...
