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...

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...

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 a 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.
