July 29, Stonington, CT

Fog again this morning. It begins to clear some about 9 am. Really pretty if we are not travelling. We pick up lobster rolls from a deli in Watch Hill for lunch. Fog clears and we motor about 3 miles back west to Stonington, Ct. and go to the Dodson Marina in Stonington. We have a choice here to be on a mooring with launch service or at the dock with a power hook up and we elect to be on the dock as the humidity and temperature are high today and we need the a/c.



We walk downtown and find a few nice homes from the 1800's, a couple of nice restaurants and a gathering in the town square to raise funds for a town clock.


We are treated to a "barbershop quartet" (15 singers in red and white striped matching shirts) concert on the city hall steps in the town square.


The fundraiser also featured croquet contests, boccie ball contests and several children's games. There were a few old cars including a really good Rolls Royce "brass" trimmed four seat convertible touring car. A step back in time.


Weather is kind of overcast all day and we have a lazy day on the boat. Stonington is famous for it's large scallops and we have some for dinner.

Owen and Irv are trying to make the girls proper deckhands by giving them closed circuit radios complete with earphones and microphones so they can easily communicate with the Captain. The plan fizzled because the girls could not stop laughing at the way the radio's looked when being worn. I think the radio's are now "sleeping with the fishes".
