Back in Connecticut

     I'm writing this off of someones unprotected wi-fi in Hamburg Cove, Old Lyme, CT. Hamburg Cove is on the 8-Mile River which is off the Conn. River which is off Long Island Sound which is off the Atlantic Ocean which is off, off, uh, nevermind.

     We have been back for more than three weeks but we are now at a squadron rendezvous for the Memorial Day Holiday. It has been a pretty rough three weeks. We got back to our house to begin preparing to re-list the house for sale, again. Cutting up trees, painting walls, moving furniture, redesigning the layout, new lighting fixtures and much more made for a lot of work in a short period of time. But we have had visitors looking at the house. First traffic in quite a while. This is good.

     Our trip from Annapolis was good (at the start) then fairly miserable... rainy and cold. Nice passage from the C & D Canal to Cape May, NJ but after that: not so good. The overnight to New York City started okay but after midnight it got a little rough, then rainy, then thunderstormy. Our batteries were overheating and it was foggy so we ducked into Atlantic Highlands behind Sandy Hook for a short while before heading through the city. This wasn't bad. Visibility wasn't great but it didn't need to be. We made it to Port Washington, Long Island fine and it was nice for a while but the next few days weren't quite so nice. Our trip to Port Jefferson was cut short at Eaton's Neck by a nasty chop so we went into Huntington Bay. It was Mattituck the next day and Mystic after that.

     So ended this season's round trip south to the Keys and Cays of the Caribbean. If we sell the house we won't need to come home so soon next year. We can wait for the warmer weather we've become used to.

Probably a while before a new blog.
