Exciting first day of a two weeks vacation


EXCITING FIRST DAY OF A TWO WEEKS VACATION 

July 12, 2026


We're leaving Deep River at 6, following our plan. 


We love morning rides.


Captain is excited 


The puggy not so much.  He turned his back on daddy when putting his life jacket on 😆 


Me, I'm groggy but happy.


Smooth 



Look at him now, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the fresh air.


Following the yellow brick road


We think there's a submarine 


What do you think?


We arrive at the mouth of Mystic River at 7:50


Feeling good.

Our neighbor across the dock was a beautiful Ranger tug named LIBERTY.  Off course chatted with them.  The captain is Brian Duperre.  He is a musician, his band is FIRETOWN ROAD. His parents are from New Brunswick.  I am happy to have a French conversation with him.


Karaoke at Harp and  Hound. 
Tim sings 'Thorn in my pride".


Tim signs up for a duet with his sister without her consent. She was shy but she did good.

The whole crowd sang BOHEMIAN RAPHSODIE in unison before we left. Fun time!

We sleep like rocks. The plan is getting up at 5:30 for a calm ride before the wind picks up.
Good night!

  TODAY WE GO TO BLOCK ISLAND  July 13, 2026 7:00 o'clock : the beginning of our journey to Block Island.  The Sheperds, who we were concern about them getting up early are ahead of us... thanks to Scott the waker upper 😆. Here's a screen shot of their first interaction:  Those two, I don't know how they are still friends  😆  Mom and Dad are excited. Puggy doesn't care  "Grand booat, Grand booat take us to Block Island" 🎶 🎵  From Mystic we head south across Fishers Island Sound then east and to Watch Hill pass to Block Island sound. Except for some chop from the incoming tide at Watch Hill pass we have a good ride. Pretty sights Furthermore on the yellow brick road. Do you see what I see? We started to see our destination at 7:49.  Smooth seas, clear views.  Life is good. 8:20: we're pretty much there.  Surprisingly Tim is quite behind.  Well his new boat is heavier than ours.  We're waiting for them and enter the Grea...

  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...

FOURTH DAY IN BLOCK ISLAND July 16, 2026  Scott takes a picture of the sunrise while taking Immer out for his business. Then back to bed.  We all sleep in this morning.  The three amigos. Mike comes by ferry. Scott and I have lunch with him at the Oar.  Tim joins us at the end.  He just got up, he wants breakfast.   Old friends. All of a sudden Tim feels restless and wants to do something. So he goes paddle boarding.  "Let's meet us at Champlin's" we say. He shows us the wrong direction so we correct him and watch  him go.  Marisa, Mike, Scott and I walk the beach there. No Tim. We have a drink and watch all around. After an hour we come back and here he is. Dude you showed me the wrong way, Ballard's is not over there. Scott and I : not Ballard's,  Champlin's.  Tim : Champlin's ooooh! Now I get it. Ribs for dinner. Thank you Tim for the meat and string beans. Thank you Mike for cooking. We contribute with pesto potatoes. ...
