Something different this weekend

There's no doubt that summer is gone, although it doesn't officially leave us until September 22. Most of the folks at A-dock showed up for the weekend but there was a need for a jacket or sweatshirt when the sun was behind the clouds. No matter.  The conversation was still good and many of us ending up going out to dinner together.

On Sunday, we had only one project and that was to add some new 4-inch cleats to hold our inflatable in place. Wrapping the line around a railing was getting old, so we mounted the new cleats.

There was an antique and classic car show in Norwich on Sunday and our dock mate, John T, was attending with his beautiful 1964 Chevy Impala SS, so we decided to check it out and it was well worthwhile.  Lots of nice cars, many of which brought back memories.

We found John and Joanne at their headquarters behind their car.

John's car is really nice and he had a spot next to some other owners from Monson.

Frances loved what she called the "triple air cleaners" on this GTO.

We admired many of the cars and could see how old car restoration and maintenance is every bit as difficult as it is with an old boat.

We eventually walked back to our 1990 Mercury for the ride back to American Wharf. Hey, it's only 20 years old. Give us a few more years and maybe we'll enter it in the show.
