We met Jimmy at Mallove’s and picked up our recent purchases then headed out on foot for a second breakfast! Jimmy’s first choice had a long line in front so we crossed the bridge to the other side of town and went to another favorite of his, owned by a local Greek guy. The little breakfast place had great omelets and outdoor seating and we had a really nice visit with Jimmy.
It was time for all of us to get on with our days so we headed back to Zendo and took off for our next stop at 12:30. As we cruised out of the Mystic River we saw a number of boats with huge Trump flags blowing in the breeze. Unfortunately (to us), this has been a rather common sight in our travels on the water this year.
We were bound for Old Lyme Dock where we had stayed on the way up. It took us almost an hour to get out of the Mystic River because we were held up by over 30 minutes at one of the two bridges waiting for a train to cross. In the meantime, we were enthralled by the mackerel skies!
As we entered Long Island Sound we were happy to see that the seas were relatively calm though the air was quite cool and crisp due to a strong high pressure front.
We headed up the Connecticut River, through yet another bridge. You can see that Lynn is rather obsessed with bridge photos!
By 5 pm we arrived at Old Lyme Dock where the huge yacht, Excellence, was still parked out front and we found ourselves in a slip under one of the biggest versions of Old Glory that we’ve ever seen.
We nestled into our spot in this tiny “marina” and settled in for a cozy night all plugged into power and nice and warm!
