I told Frances that this shot would never come out, but it did...
(Collaboration on text, obvious to some...)
On Sunday, we converged with guests on the boat after a luncheon in Easton with F's family. John joined us for dinner in the cabin. The original plan for this weekend was to take our guests - Fred and Kathy Curtis, (Frances' brother and sister-in-law who were visiting from Florida) - on a short cruise to Mystic on Monday and return on Tuesday. But, as has happened several times recently, the weather didn't cooperate. Monday dawned gray, windy and cool and rather than slog through the seas (a Small Craft Advisory that had been posted), we enjoyed a great breakfast together in Norwich and then went by car to Mystic.
We had a fine time walking around Mystic and after the inevitable shopping, went on to Stonington for some lunch at Skippers. We've been to Skippers many times but this time, the food seemed extra good. It just might have been the great company.
Later Monday, Frannie's cousin Susie, from Easton, CT was in New London on business and drove up to join us on that evening. A great pizza from Voc's was shared and Fred and Kathy spent another night on the boat. Tuesday morning came and Fred and Kathy left for Boston and Portland, Maine, where they were to see other family. We know now how comfortable sharing quarters with another couple is. Not bad if we stow some stuff up in the Captain's office to make room...However, Frances and Bro were up until 2AM on Tues. gabbing and rearranging furniture. I can't wait to present the changes to the Capt.................
At this point, we need to begin planning our trip back up the Connecticut River for winter storage. Frances would like to make that a cruise with as many of our dock mates aboard as possible. That would be fun!
