Piggy Sue from 2004

Piggy Sue wasn't feeling so good after getting back from Watch Hill. Grumpier. Had a slight fever. She seems to be better now. A guess mught be she had a jelly-fish sting. We're not sure. Didn't affect her appetite or any other personal business, however.

Labor Day

The weekend after our vacation cruise was Labor Day Weekend. We went to a Watch Hill, RI rendezvous with the Waterbury Power Squadron.

It was a nice, relaxing, mostly sunny weekend with friends. A very short trip for us and no adventures.

Some of the group had a slightly less relaxing weekend when the wind picked up early Sunday morning and their raft-ups dragged their anchors. I woke up about 0100 to see the tail end of the re-anchoring efforts and to make sure we were still secure. We did not have anyone rafted with us and didn't drag. The others had up to four boats rafted and did drag. Coincidence? I don't think so. Adventures are better when someone else is telling the story.

Some of the 17 people aboard for a 'happy hour'.
