NH heads to Milford Yacht Club

Nana and Nandad woke up to a beautiful calm morning leaving Fisher Island for Milford CT . Along the way Nana is reminded why we tell our children and grandchildren to watch and dispose of balloons carefully. Nana switched course this morning to avoid what she thought was a lobster pot but instead turned out to be one of those helium balloons!!This happened again approaching Niantic Bay but that time there was a bunch of three balloons. Let’s hope the whale that was reported to be in the area decided not to swallow them up! Nana was waiting with her camera but Unfortunately NH did not get an encounter with the whale.

The cruise to Milford was just picture perfect with a steady speed of 10 knots and almost 2 knots of current NH and Nana were very content and Nandad was happy about fuel consumption. 

Nana and Nandad had a wonderful afternoon and evening with Bridget and family. A short launch drive across the harbor took us right to Bridget’s house. Like most people it has been too long since we gathered together as a family. Sharing food, memories, and chit chat was much over due. This is the view that Bridget sees right from her back porch. As the sun goes down over the harbor Nana and Nandad are feeling very grateful for the opportunity to enjoy all that cruising brings. 

Tomorrow NH heads for Safe Harbor Capri at Port Washington.
