The ten day trip back to Stratford, Ct. with stops in Boothbay and Portland, Maine; Provincetown and Martha's Vineyard, Mass. and Newport, RI was accompanied with some good winds.
Provincetown afforded the most entertainment including "drag karaoke".
Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard was a better experience than last years stop at the other end of this Island at Edgar Town. Especially nice was the remote town of Menemsha where on can gorge on Lobster on the dock.
One of our less stellar takeaways from here is my new Mac Book Pro computer becoming water logged courtesy of a gentle local soul offering us a ride back to our harbor in his truck. Seems the dinghy he had in the back of his truck was filled with water and our back packs got immersed with both Macs in one. So this is being composed on my new MacBook Air which is much smaller and lighter to rival Cin's iPad for schlepping to coffee Shops.
Spent 4 or 5 days in Newport and once again fell in love with this very nautical town. The supper sailing yachts are second to none and we once again saw "Isabel", John Kerry's $7MM yacht that we were dock mates with at Harbor Island in the Bahamas last spring. BTY even Isabel is small compared to the mega yachts moored here.
Newport afforded us a chance to hook up with Jon and Nancy before we headed south and they layed up their Tartan 43 for the winter deciding to be land based in their homw on Martha's Vineyard until spring.
Then the best of all as we arrived in Connecticut we were greeted by this:
HD is on to Annapolis for the Sailboat show as ther crew returns via land for Sophia's first Birfday Party and sailing with Chrissy and Sophia for 9 days in the Chesapeake. FUN!
