Friday 9/25/09 Yesterday we left Avondale, motored out of the Pawtucket River, and set sail for Groton, hoping to meet up with Jerry and Sandy Bishop. Sailing was beautiful. We met the Bishops off Mystic and followed them into Hammock Island. They had the dogs and we enjoyed the water, lunch and catching up. We them followed them into the Thames River, under the railroad bridge, dodging all the rowing skulls and Coast Guard sailing races and into the Smith Harbor. It has been fun catching up with dear friends whom we have not spent time with in so long. We are off this morning (I'll have my little personal rendeveau with the Thames bridge keeper - we have a VHF thing going on) to continue along the Long Island Sound. The weather yesterday was 85 degrees. I love the South!

    I love the names of some of these places you're visiting. And...I have to agree with your son. I always thought Connecticut was "up north". :-)
