Milford, CT

We took our time on Sunday, June 28 and didn't leave Norwalk until 10:20 for the relatively short cruise to Milford. It was a beautiful day on the Sound and we were enjoying it but for some reason Archie was not feeling it. He kept wandering up and down the stairs and in and out of the boat until I finally had to lie down with him on our bed until he settled down.

We really like going to Milford Harbor because it’s a deep harbor with several marinas and a beautiful setting. We especially like staying at Milford Landing, the marina furthest inside the harbor. It has comfortable facilities, is close to several restaurants and we especially love that it is very close to the Milford Town Green.

We arrived at 1:45 and settled in for a couple of hours.  Jonny’s cousins Abby and Anne came by at 4:30 as planned.  We have been meeting them every year since we’ve been cruising but unfortunately their spouses are no longer able to be with us. As is their tradition, they brought a bottle of champagne and we drank that bottle and another accompanied by some appetizers.  Afterwards we walked to a nearby restaurant/bar called Seven Seas that featured lobster rolls. The lobster rolls were so big we had to eat them with a knife and fork.  Later we returned to Zendo for some port and other after dinner drinks.

We always have a fun time together and hopefully we’ll see them again on the way back. Note: photos will resume in the post after the next one!
