Nice Weekend on the Water
We enjoyed a great weekend of boating in Connecticut. Patti, Mike, Ben, Rosalie and Boo came down for a visit from Vermont. On Saturday we launched Hobbes out of Barn Island and after a bit of exploring, gas and shifting plans, we headed over to Fishers Island, NY. We enjoyed the afternoon at East Harbor, while Boo and the kids played and played. The highlight was Mike rigging up his new kids windsurfer. He proceeded to teach all three kids to windsurf. They are hooked! Back at the house the kids enjoyed more swimming in the pool. On Sunday, Mike, Ben, Gianni and I went back out early for some Father's Day fishing. Patti and Rosalie went down to Dad's to ride horses. Out on the water, we slowly made our way around to the south side of Fishers when the action started. We caught 6 fish, from which we then enjoyed a crispy fish meal at Mike's cousin's house, before they headed home. It definitely was a nice Father's Day and so nice to have our great friends down to CT.
