First thing in Branford was to get the “freight” offloaded! Our friends Al & Michele purchased some new to Kindred Spirit “jewelry.” The item was delivered to us in Galesville, MD from Richmond, VA. We had it in the “garage” for safe passage, not it, but our safety….its a FREAKING ANCHOR 75lbs ok? \ud83d\ude42 We were able to safely offload in Branford along with some social distance hugs!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to anchor delivery, the primary reason for Branford was to visit our friend Ted aboard Amici. Ted is a fabulous chef and made these Brontosaurus Pork Chops!! Fabulous! I was also grateful to share in some wonderful comradre over some black-water lines….do we know how to have fun or what???><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though most people will not recognize but this is the world famous Defender boat stuff store outside of Groton CT. They had just re-opened the store so our visit was fortuitous….there was the lunch of Road-Side Red Hots too!!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was great to catch up with Ted and we made plans to catch up on Block Island in a couple weeks. Magnolia got underway across Long Island Sound to Gardner Bay and area around Shelter Island. We have never visited the area before so we were juiced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plum Gut – pretty fast water in here on the tide swings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop was Three Mile Harbor. A wonderfully protected harbor far enough inland that she will not be busted open to the ocean during the next hurricane….more on that later…we spent our time trying track down the elusive Three Mile Harbor Wild Chicken…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

gotcha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The area is filled with plenty of beauty and easy to understand why many NYC people escape here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the boats are fabulous….(Greg & Nancy — check this one out!!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this one….oh wait…this is our previous boat, Magnolia-S. She was spotted in Ocracoke, NC and this picture sent to us. Her new owners are wonderful people and are obviously keeping her in fine shape!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annette even scored a few pieces of Sea Glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This store is on the main drag in Sag Harbor. Could not but help think of the Schipani sisters…first sister to read this wins a bottle of Mazzei \u201cPoggio Badiola\u201d Toscana!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were in Cutchogue Harbor for the 4th Of July and treated to a perfect view of their holiday boat parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So were sitting anchor and this big brother came in dropped the hook next to us… this is a Kadey Krogen 48. Only 6 feet longer but about twice the living space!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I said at the beginning of this post, we would come back to Three Mile Harbor….I actually meant that literally. As soon as Tropical Storm Fay made herself known we knew exactly where we would be to welcome her. In the end, Fay came and went and all was fine. We never saw more than 30 knots of wind which was just fine with us. I even managed a solid nights sleep. All well, that ends well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will wait till Monday to depart for Block Island where we will meet up with some friends….looking forward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
