They brought breakfast and we had a very lively visit catching up on each other’s lives as they checked out our boating lifestyle. Lisa had been vacationing on Cape Cod with her family and then stayed longer in Connecticut to visit a number of old friends. Now they she is retired she doesn’t have to rush back home to prepare for a new school year! By noon, after they took Lynn and Stephanie for a grocery store run, it was time to say good by and shove off.
We cruised along the lovely Connecticut coast lined with traditional waterfront homes.
The destination for the day was an anchorage off of Westbrook, CT called Duck Island. We were meeting up with cruising friends, Liz and Steve Kemper aboard Shingebiss. Five hours later we found Shingebiss in a pretty and protected harbor and we dropped our hook nearby. We took the dinghy and the salmon we had purchased that morning over to have dinner with Liz and Steve.
We had a lot of fun hearing about their travels since we hadn’t seen them in many months. Liz has just been elected to the Board of Directors for the Marine Trawlers Owners Association which Jonny is also on so we’ll continue to see them regularly. We wintered Zendo in the same marina that they winter in and we’ve become quite fond of them.
That evening we had a delicious dinner of salmon, pork chops, pasta salad and a tossed salad. They taught us how to play Farkel and we watched a little of a PBS show commemorating Woodstock’s 50th anniversary before departing for Zendo. A good time was had by all!
