If it wasn't for the weather...

...we'd be in Norwich, tied up to the dock. Over the last week, the weather deteriorated to the point that it got cold and pretty windy in Long Island Sound. We decided to stay put and make the run to Norwich next weekend. Before we head out, we normally visit our summer marina and put out the fenders and dock lines that we'll need when we finally get there. It was fun to take a little road trip and visit Norwich today.

Our friends John T, Bob, and Louie and Janey were on the dock as a welcoming committee. Nice to see them all again.

Unfortunately, a former dock mate didn't return this year, so we moved up one slip. This summer, we get to look at the other side of Lou and Janey's beautiful Four Winns. We put out our fenders and electric cable.  All we have to do now is make the 50 mile trip to Norwich.

Our boat is running fine - all fluids checked, cooling fluids full, new steering working and no leaks from the many new exhaust parts we renewed last winter. We're looking forward to starting our summer!
