Tramp Stamps and Cool Nights

After Labor Day, we have only two-day weekends at A-dock and the time seems to move more quickly when the sun rises later and sets earlier. Saturday was a beautiful day and in the afternoon, some dockmates gathered to examine some stick-on tattoos that Daryl & Deidre came up with.  Bob examined them and suggested that Diane try one.



That got Joanne started with some tattoo stories of her own.



Could cocktail hour be far behind?

Bill is an early riser and often walks up and down the town's crazy hills, admiring the architecture and the amazingly clever way that residents as far back as the 1700s found ways to build built houses on the steep and rocky terrain. The street names aren't particularly original but once in a while, there's one that makes you smile. Here we are at the corner of Fountain and Happy Streets.


A few blocks down the hill, there is an opening between the trees with a good view of Norwich Harbor.



It's worth the hike to enjoy this for a few minutes.

Then it's back to the marina, but first we have to check on the progress made in the construction of the transportation center.


And just for good measure, let's take one more shot of A-dock on a cloudy Sunday morning.  Pretty nice place to keep your boat, don't you think?
